NCAA Tournament Day 11 Features Kentucky, Ohio State Fighting for a Chance to Advance to Championship

There's two spots up for grabs on Saturday, as Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State and Kansas all look to punch their tickets for Monday's NCAA championship game.

No matter what team you're rooting for on Saturday, both of these games will be heavily watched and there could still be that one upset that strikes down a bunch of brackets in final weekend of March.
