What channel is UConn vs. Gonzaga on today? Time, TV schedule to watch March Madness Elite Eight game

Connecticut and Gonzaga were both expected to find success in this year's NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, and they have. The two teams will face off in the Elite Eight for a trip to Houston and the Final Four on the line.

But how each has arrived to this point has been a bit different. UConn has largely throttled its opponents. The closest game to date in the tournament for the Huskies came in the second round, when they beat No. 5 Saint Mary's 70-55. Games against No. 13 Iona in the first round and No. 8 Arkansas in the Sweet Sixteen? Those were each decided by at least 23 points.

Gonzaga has had a more challenging road to the Elite Eight. Following a 12-point win against No. 14 Grand Canyon, the Bulldogs edged out No. 6 TCU only by three points — though it was a last-second TCU 3 that kept the game from being a six-point game. 

Then, on Thursday, Gonzaga pulled off an impressive comeback against No. 2 UCLA, overcoming a 13-point halftime deficit and eventually winning on a 3-pointer from Julian Strawther with 7.2 seconds left to re-take the lead for good and win 79-76.
