The start of the Elite Eight means the days of back-to-back-to-back NCAA Menโs Basketball games are behind you, but the trade-off is that every single game is great.

Iowa jumped out to an early lead on Illinois, while Purdue did the same against Arizona. Both higher seeds took their locker room speeches to heart in comeback victories.
