SOUTH
1. Baylor vs. 3. Duke- In a rematch of the 2010 Elite 8 matchup, Duke won this one in simpler fashion with an 81-66 win. Duke jumped out early and though Baylor would threaten from time-to-time, they never really made Duke sweat. Tre Jones continued his brilliant March with 19 points and 7 assists and no turnovers. Duke would be returning to the Final 4 for the first time since 2015.
WEST
1. Gonzaga vs. 3. Creighton- In one of the great tourney games in history, Gonzaga held off Creighton, winning 106-102 in triple overtime and became the first team ever to make a Final 4 while playing 3 separate overtime games. The Zags held a 13-point halftime lead but the BlueJays kept coming in the 2nd half. They finally tied it at the buzzer on a Ty-shon Alexander 3. Creighton grabbed a 6-point lead with 1:37 left in the second overtime only for missed free throws to doom them.
