March Madness - Elite Eight: March 29 & 30

March Madness continues this week with the Elite Eight on Saturday and Sunday.
Here is the schedule:

Saturday, March 29
West

Sunday, March 30

If you went to one of these schools, there is nothing better than watching the game with a bunch of your screaming fellow alumni. Due to the popularity of these games (it's called "madness" for a reason, you know), it is suggested that you call ahead to make reservations.

So, where are the alumni watching?
