March Madness is rolling into the Elite Eight with the finishing touches being put on the Sweet 16 late Friday night. Across Saturday and Sunday, teams will face off in Elite Eight matchups for a trip to the Final Four on the line.

Friday’s action is still ongoing with Auburn locked in a tight dogfight vs. Michigan and Purdue and Houston battling it out, but the tip-off times for the next round of games are already out. CBS confirmed the tip-off times for Sunday with 2 spots still up for grabs.

At 2:20 pm ET, the regional final in Indianapolis will get rolling with 2-seed Tennessee awaiting the winner of 4-seed Purdue vs. 1-seed Houston. Purdue was in the Final Four last season, while Houston has not been back since 2021, and the Vols have never been in the national semifinals.

In Atlanta, the regional final will begin at approximately 5:05 pm ET between 2-seed Michigan State and the winner of 5-seed Michigan and 1-seed Auburn. Michigan State and Auburn both made the 2019 Final Four while Michigan has not been back since 2018.

Saturday’s tip-off times were previously set with Florida and Texas Tech meeting in the West Regional Final at 6:09 pm ET on TBS/truTV. Alabama vs. Duke will decide the East Regional Final at 8:49 pm on TBS/truTV.

After sending a record 7 teams to the Sweet 16, the SEC is trying to get Auburn through to the Elite Eight, which would give the league 4 teams in the regional finals. On the other hand, wins by Purdue and Michigan would give the Big Ten 3 teams in the Elite Eight.
