Two tickets have been punched to the Final Four, and two more remain as Sunday rolls around on the Elite Eight.

An exhilarating NCAA Tournament is coming down to it’s waning moments, and four more teams are about to find out if they’re going to Houston or not. With zero No. 1 seeds in contention, a singular No. 2 seed and teams from conferences like the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA still standing, we’ve seen anything can happen during March Madness.

Nevertheless, the excitement has reached a zenith. With two gigantic showdowns set for Sunday’s Elite Eight, here’s everything you need to know, from when and where to watch, what Las Vegas is thinking and who the ESPN Basketball Power Index has moving on to the Final Four in Houston.

Game Times, TV Channels, & Odds for Elite Eight:

No. 5 San Diego State Aztecs vs. No. 6 Creighton Bluejays (-2.0) — Sunday, 2:20 p.m. (CBS)

  • ESPN’s BPI: Creighton by 3.8 (65.4% Win Probability)

No. 5 Miami Hurricanes vs. No. 2 Texas Longhorns (-3.5) – Sunday, 5:05 p.m. (CBS)

  • ESPN’s BPI: Texas by 8.0 (77.3% Win Probability)

Kicking off things on Sunday are is a showdown between San Diego State and Creighton. The Blue Jays ended the miraculous run of the Princeton Tigers, while the Aztecs pulled off one of the more shocking wins of the entire NCAA Tournament, sending top-seeded Alabama home. Now, the Mountain West Conference’s hopes lay squarely on their shoulders, but the Blue Jays won’t be an easy task.

Afterwards, Miami and Texas will do battle in a showdown between two high-level programs, and it’s going to be a war to get to the Final Four. Each squad was more than impressive in their Elite Eight victories, and there’s no love between the two gritty, physical programs. Whichever team finds its way to Houston, one thing is for sure, the Hurricanes or Longhorns will have a tremendous shot at a title.

Additionally, it all comes after Saturday provided the college basketball world with some amazing action, as Florida Atlantic and Connecticut both clinched their tickets to the Final Four.

In Saturday’s first game, the Owls held on to victory in a thriller against the Kansas State Wildcats. Meanwhile, it wasn’t as exciting Saturday night, unless you’re a Huskies fan, as Connecticut wiped the floor with the Gonzaga Bulldogs by a score of 82-54.

Who will join them in Houston? We’ll find out Sunday, as four teams will give it their all to realize their dreams this afternoon.
