Despite not having any No. 1 seeds, this year’s Elite Eight is still filled with intrigue. After a strong opening to the round on Saturday, the Elite Eight will come to a close Sunday when No. 5 San Diego State takes on No. 6 Creighton, and No. 5 Miami takes on No. 2 Texas. Both games will air on CBS, and the winners will head to the Final Four next weekend in Houston, Texas.
