Elite 8 Charts- Part 1

Fr the first par of our Elite 8 games we have a pair of great matchups.  The nation's best team consistently through the regular season and into the tournament has been Gonzaga.  They're taking on this year's Cinderella Xavier, a team that has slain a very good Florida State squad and then capitalized on some Arizona mistakes to take them out.  This could be a tough matchup because Xavier draws ore fouls and is a bit better on the offensive glass.  The program doesnt like their chances, but this likely will be a battle

KU has been the team that leaves you worrying at halftime, and then by 5 minutes left in the second half is up by 15 and pulling away.  Against Oregon though a slow start could bury them.
