NCAA Tournament Schedule 2011: Time, TV Details For The Elite Eight

Eight teams remain in the 2011 NCAA men's basketball tournament. By the end of Saturday the 2011 NCAA bracket will be down to six teams, and come Sunday night the Final Four will be set. 

Here is a look at the NCAA tournament schedule for Saturday and Sunday's Elite Eight games:

Saturday

No. 2 Florida vs. No. 8 Butler (4:30 p.m., CBS)

No. 3 UConn vs. No. 5  Arizona (7:05 p.m., CBS)

Sunday

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 11 VCU (2:20 p.m., CBS)

No. 2 North Carolina vs. No. 4 Kentucky (5:05 p.m., CBS)

The main stories heading into the final two days of the second week of the tournament are that Kansas is the only No. 1 seed still alive and that VCU is in the Elite Eight. On Selection Sunday quite a few people were up in arms over VCU even making the Big Dance, and since beating USC in the First Four the Rams have taken down Georgetown, Purdue and Florida State. On Sunday they will have a chance to knock off Kansas, which has outlasted the other three No. 1 seeds (Pittsburgh, Duke and Ohio State).
