The West region was supposed to be a breeze for top-seeded Alabama. But after No. 5 San Diego State stunned the college basketball world on Friday, we're now left with a surprise Elite Eight matchup between the Aztecs and No. 6 seed Creighton.
The Aztecs' defense is the primary reason they're just one win away from the Final Four. It's held opponents to an average of 58 points in three NCAA tournament wins over No. 12 Charleston, No. 13 Furman and No. 1 Alabama.
The Bluejays, on the other hand, have arrived at this moment with a high-scoring offense that can bite opponents in any number of ways.
