Gonzaga is just three victories from becoming the first undefeated team to win the NCAA Tournament in since Indiana did it in 1975-76. But every game from here on out figures to be a strong test for the No. 1 seed Bulldogs, starting with Tuesday night’s Elite Eight showdown against No. 6 seed USC.
The Trojans have been one of the most dominant teams in the Big Dance thus far as they’ve advanced this far with a trio of blowout wins. That means something must give when they face a Gonzaga squad that has won all but one game this season by 10 or more points.
In the other national quarterfinal, one of the top teams all season long looks to make good on its run — even without one of its stars. No. 1 seed Michigan takes the floor looking to advance to the Final Four for the third time in eight years and first since 2018. The Wolverines have put things together, even without the services of Isaiah Livers as he nurses a foot injury. Standing in their way is No. 11 seed UCLA, who will try to match VCU in 2011 as the only team to make the Final Four after playing in the First Four.
