We now know the first two teams who have reached the Final Four, and it won’t be long until we know which two sides join them at this prestigious stage of the tournament.
The Elite Eight is impressive, but for many, the tournament doesn’t really come alive until you reach the Final Four. This is the stage people talk about and look back on, with the victors finding some joy in this accolade, no matter what happens next.
The first two Elite Eight games finished:
- Houston 67 vs. Oregon State 61
- Baylor 81 vs. Arkansas 72
MaCio Teague was on fire for Baylor, sinking vital three-point shots, and stepping up at crucial times of the game. Arkansas struggled at times, and in the end, Baylor qualified with a bit to spare.
Marcus Sasser grabbed 20 points in the Houston victory, with Quentin Grimes close behind in delivering 18 points in this hard-fought triumph.

There aren’t many games left in the 2021 March Madness, but there is more than enough for fans to remain excited over. There is also more than enough for basketball betting fans to enjoy too.
