Elite Eight Bracket 2010

As the NCAA Mens Basketball tournament advances towards its more final and crucial stages people are getting rather excited about watching the Elite Eight 2010 fight it off to make it to the final four. The names for each round have been though up in such a way that they make the whole tournament so much more exciting, that’s what I think personally. There have been a lot of upsets for high ranking teams in this tournament and I’m sure many of you might be thinking that they made the right prediction about the national championship winners but then with the way the tournament has gone so far I wouldn’t be surprised if the least expected winner took the championship title home.

The Elite Eight 2010 teams that made it to the regional finals for each section of the country go as such: for the West we have Kansas State versus Butler University which made a surprising entry to the finals after defeating first seeded Syracuse. For the East we have Kentucky versus West Virginia, for the Midwest we have Tennessee versus Michigan State and last but not least in any which way we have the South regional finals which will see Duke take on Baylor.
People have begun to buy tickets and cue for chance tickets all over the country as the first match of the Elite Eight 2010 kicks off at half past four in Utah at their famous Salt Lake City

arena which will host the game between Kansas State and Butler.
