Most years in the Elite 8 Game, a team is playing against a Team that with one or two more wins could have been a #1 Seed.

This year two games where the #1 and #2 Seeds are meeting.  UConn vs So Carolina and Notre Dame vs Oregon.  The other match ups are Miss St vs UCLA (3 seed) and Louisville vs Oregon St (6 seed)  While the #1 Seeds are favored, it wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of them lose  their games.  All four of the lower seeded team present problems for the #1 seeds and if any of the Top seeds have a bad shooting day or get into foul trouble, they will lose.

Not sure who has the most pressure in the UConn vs So Carolina Game.

UConn  10 Consecutive Final F4's.  Players don't want to be the team that stops the streak and on top of that, incur their 1st loss of the Year.

So Carolina  Not publicly said, but many think So Carolina got lucky to not have to face UConn for the National Championship.  So Carolina wants to prove the National Championship was not a fluke and get back to the F4.   Also So Carolina lost to UConn this year, in a game they had a poor start.  A'ja also wants to prove that she is deserving of the POY over KLS.
