Let’s rank the Elite Eight at the 2025 men’s NCAA tournament.
The 2025 men’s NCAA tournament only has eight teams left standing. This has been one of the chalkiest tournaments in recent March Madness history, with the higher-seeded teams advancing through the bracket with little trouble. All four No. 1 seeds are still alive as we reach the Elite Eight, and No. 3 seed Texas Tech is the closest thing left to a Cinderella.
Duke and Florida continue to look like the favorites for the national championship.

And then, there were just eight teams remaining.
That’s right, the 2025 men’s NCAA basketball tournament has hit the Elite Eight, and so we’ll be getting eight exciting games Saturday and Sunday, with hopefully some more March Madness drama in store after some good stuff in the Sweet 16.
And if you’re here, you’re probably prepping yourself for Saturday with the best survivor pool picks or mourn that perfect bracket that’s been dashed to pieces. Or you just want to know when games are.

Deco chose not to re-sign former Barcelona winger last summer in €22 million deal
Former Barcelona winger Francisco Trincao is absolutely thriving at Sporting CP this season, attracting serious interest from top clubs in Europe.
It could prove to be financially beneficial for Barça as they still have a 50% sell-on clause for the Portuguese international.
However, the Blaugrana themselves had a chance to bring him back to the club after parting ways with him in 2022, but decided against it.

Following another impressive offseason, expectations are high for the Chicago Bears heading into the 2025 season. The Bears started their roster overhaul with the trades for offensive linemen Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, and they continued to build the trenches in free agency.
Chicago’s big free agent moves included center Drew Dalman, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo and Durham Smythe in the first wave, as well as wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay in the second wave of signings.
The New Orleans Saints have met with an exceptional amount of prospects during the 2025 pre-draft process, including players from every corner of the nation and at every position. However, there are some trends beginning to take hold, and it is clear that some positions are taking precedence over others.
One of those positions is along the offensive line, as they have met with various offensive linemen throughout the offseason, potentially looking to add a future starter beyond this year given they already have a relatively set group for now.
Barcelona midfield superstar likely to be rested vs Girona due to adductor strain
FC Barcelona will lock horns with Girona on Sunday afternoon in La Liga, less than 72 hours after seeing off Osasuna at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
The 3-0 win on Thursday came at some cost for Barça as they lost Dani Olmo to an adductor injury, sidelining him for a period of three weeks.
At the same time, key midfield superstar Frenkie de Jong also had to be taken off at half-time due to some discomfort.
The Spartans of Michigan State (30-6) take the court Sunday against the Auburn Tigers (31-5) with a ticket to the Final Four on the line.
Auburn advanced to the title game in the South Region with a 78-65 win over the Michigan Wolverines. the Tigers led by one at halftime and trailed by nine early in the second half before going on a 39-17 run to take control of the game and advance to the Elite 8 for the third time in school history. Tahaad Pettiford was superb scoring 20 points to pace the attack.
Jonathan Allen had been through it all in Washington. A first-round pick in 2017, Allen spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with Washington. So, when he was injured last season, it was disappointing for Allen. The Commanders were finally winning, and Allen was sidelined with a pec injury.
Fortunately for Allen, it was only a partial tear, and he returned for the final two games of the regular season and all three playoff games. While the Commanders came up short in the NFC championship, exciting times were ahead for Washington.
