UConn moved a step closer to a national championship repeat on Thursday by smashing last year’s national runner-up San Diego State. Illinois stands next in their way on Saturday.

On the other side of the bracket, Duke knocked off #1 seed Houston to face Cinderella NC State, while Purdue and Tennessee advanced to the only 1-2 matchup in the Elite 8.
