The Elite 8 kicks off Sunday with two of the best teams in the country in action in UConn and UCLA. Will Notre Dame or Duke have any chance of upsetting the two dominant squads or will the Huskies and Bruins continue their path to the finals?

As Braylon Mullins sank his 35-foot shot in the decisive play of the game, so sank Duke hearts nationwide, with the UConn Huskies prevailing over the Blue Devils in the Elite Eight matchup (73-72). And this former college basketball coach did not shy away from highlighting the manner of defeat suffered by Jon Scheyer.

UCLA fought past Duke, 70–58, but it was clear that the Bruins were off individually. This was not a great game for UCLA’s starters. Once again, Angela Dugalic outscored four of the five starters, marking two consecutive games in which she has outscored the majority of the starting lineup.
