Open thread: the Elite Eight - with all four one seeds (updated)

This year, the Elite Eight features eight power conference teams, including two of the blue bloods of the sport – Kansas and North Carolina. The closest thing to a "plucky upstart" is Villanova, the big east last entry in the tournament. Villanova has the misfortune of taking on Kansas, a team that has one 17 straight games and looks to be set to run things to a championship.

Villanova, however, have the chance to put the big east on it's shoulders and improve the league's reputation by reaching a Final Four.

At the very least, tonight and tomorrow are a chance to see really high-level basketball, high-stakes basketball, high and basketball. Seniors. Shotmaking. Smart defense. And also, Syracuse.  I can't believe they're still here either.

Which team do you most want to see in the Final Four?
