March Madness: The best and worst from Saturday’s Elite Eight games


Best game: (9) Florida Atlantic 79, (3) Kansas State 76 (East). FAU, a program which two weeks ago had never won an NCAA tourney game and had appeared in the Big Dance just once before, is headed to the Final Four. Dusty May’s Owls got there by virtue of a 79-76 thriller that ended one of the better individual runs we’ve seen in March in quite some time. (SB Nation)
