No doubt, getting to the Elite Eight is an accomplishment…but teams don’t hang banners for Elite Eights (at least they shouldn’t). All the weights lifted, all the miles run, all the shots hoisted in practice, all the interviews done — tonight is finally one of those occasions where these guys can say, “This is what it was all for.” They play for national championships, but they also play for the Final Four. That final destination, the final city on the long road that started back in October. As if I had to tell you the lineup:
- 4:30 PM ET — Kansas State vs Butler
- 7:30 PM ET — Kentucky vs West Virginia
There’s nothing left to say. This is for the Final Four. That’s all you need to say.
Can’t wait. Hope to see you around here for some conversation while we watch the games.
