Big 12 MBB Elite Eight Preview

Definitely the most improbable of the Elite Eight match ups, either 9 seed Kansas State (25-11) or 11 seed Loyola Chicago (31-5) will be heading to the final four. Loyola defeated 6 seed Miami, 3 seed Tennessee, and 7 seed Nevada to reach this point and all of these games have been decided by absolutely clutch late game shots by Loyola. Kansas State beat eight seed Creighton, 16 seed UMBC, and 5 seed Kentucky to make it to this game. They showed a lot of resilience, beating Kentucky with multiple players fouled out and star Dean Wade benched due to injury for the second half.
