Texas Tech +295, Florida -375
Alabama +275, Duke -345
Tennessee +136, Houston -162
Michigan State +185, Auburn -225
The Elite Eight begins Saturday night with a 6:09 p.m. ET tip-off between Texas Tech and Florida.
Florida is looking to make it back to the Final Four for the first time since 2014 thanks to a deep bench behind top scorers Will Richard, Alijah Martin and Walter Clayton Jr.
Texas Tech's path to an upset could involve another big night on the glass after setting an NCAA Tournament program record with 51 rebounds in a Sweet 16 comeback win over Arkansas.
Duke is favored to beat Alabama after establishing themselves as one of the top defensive teams in DI men's basketball this season.
The Blue Devils head into the game with a 34-3 overall record, but Alabama could look to hand them their fourth loss of the season and force some turnovers by double-teaming freshman phenom Cooper Flagg.
Oddsmakers see Houston and Tennessee, both of which rank top 10 in scoring defense, as the closest Elite Eight matchup heading into this weekend. The Volunteers, who have never before made it to the Final Four, are hoping Zakai Zeigler and Chaz Lanier can lead them there with big games against the Cougars.
Auburn are meanwhile projected as favorites over Michigan State despite both teams needed comeback efforts in order to overcome their opponents in the Sweet 16 round. The Spartans may need to find their greatest offensive output of the season in order to take out the highest-scoring team in the nation.
Duke and Alabama tip off at 8:49 p.m. ET Saturday, followed by Sunday matchups between Houston v. Tennessee and Auburn v. Michigan State. The winners will advance to the Final Four on April 5 in San Antonio.
