Now here’s where you come in, we’re going to let you vote on each match-up. Polls will be open until 8:00 p.m. ET so we can prepare the next day’s match-up.

Here are today’s Elegant Eight match-ups:

Hanson Region Final

In the Hanson Region voting, the #1 seed 2003 squad advanced with ease (and shout out to that one person who voted for the 2011 team). Waiting in the region final is the lone “upset” of the opening round, the 9th-seeded 2000 team. Can they pull off a Cinderella Run to the Fabulous Four by knocking off the title winners?

Bing Region Final

In the Bing Region final we’ll get the team I think was the most cohesive unit I’ve seen, the 2010 group facing off against a ridiculously talented 1989 team. This is definitely one of the games we’d love to see played out on the court.

Cohen Region Final

In the Cohen Region, the # 3 seed 1987 team moves on to face the #6 seed 2013 squad. Will we get two teams from the 80s in the semis or does the 2013 team make another improbable run?
