Also known as the Regional Finals, the Elite 8 round is perhaps the most bittersweet in all of March Madness. The teams still alive have already accomplished so much after winning three tournament games, but the big prize of making it to the Final Four – for the men, it's in the Phoenix area; for the women, it's in Cleveland – requires one additional step. For the teams that fall short, the loss can be devastating.
