What 11 seed teams made it to the Elite 8?

The March Madness is a single-elimination tournament played in the United States to find the national champion of the Division I college basketball of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The March Madness tournament is played in the month of March. The March Madness games are hosted at neutral locations to prevent any team from having home-court advantage in the first, second, and regional rounds. A court is considered a home location when a team plays more than three regular-season games. Exempted are the First Four and Final Four rounds. The First Four is hosted each year at UD Arena in Dayton, the home of the Dayton Flyers basketball team since 1969. The Final Four is hosted in a football stadium, eliminating any possibility of a team hosting on its home court. The last time a team got a home advantage in the Final Four game was in 1996 when Seton Hall played at Continental Airlines Arena.

The first and second rounds are played at eight sites, with each having two pods of four teams. Pods are designed to minimize logistic costs and keep high-ranked teams near home unless seeding regulations prohibit them. Each pod has two matchups, one of which is a higher-seeded team against a lower-seeded team. The pod format has a predetermined order: Pod A (1st vs. 16th, 8th vs. 9th), Pod B (2nd vs. 15th, 7th vs. 10th), Pod C (3rd vs. 14th, 6th vs. 11th), and Pod D (4th vs. 13th, 5th vs. 12th).
