Xavier's upset of Arizona wrapped up Thursday's four-game slate, sending the Musketeers into the Elite Eight as a surprise team alongside high seeds Gonzaga, Kansas and Oregon.
That made Arizona the third No. 2 seed to lose after Duke and Louisville the first weekend. Throw in top-seeded Villanova, and four of the top eight seeds are gone.
Gonzaga, the top seed in the West bracket, reached the Elite Eight for the second time under coach Mark Few to face Xavier. Kansas looked every bit the part of a No. 1 seed by routing Purdue in the Midwest to earn a date with 3-seed Oregon in Saturday's regional final.
Of note: three of the four games were decided by 3 points or fewer. And we end the night with 12 teams still alive in the tournament.
