<p>The experts think DC could be primed for an epic match-up in the Elite Eight. </p> <p>With the NCAA Tournament down to its final 16 teams, proceedings will move to four regional sites that will host two Sweet 16 games and one Elite Eight match-up. If things go the right way for fans of basketball in general, Washington D.C. could be set up for an epic Elite Eight match-up between the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/indiana-hoosiers" class="sbn-auto-link">Indiana Hoosiers</a> and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/miami-hurricanes" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Hurricanes</a>.</p>
<p>It's not a given that the teams will meet just yet. The No. 2 Hurricanes, a giant killer early in the regular and conference seasons, will have to get past the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/marquette-golden-eagles" class="sbn-auto-link">Marquette Golden Eagles</a>. The No. 1 Hoosiers don't have an easy task in front of them either: a date with the No. 4 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/syracuse-orange" class="sbn-auto-link">Syracuse Orange</a>.</p>
<p>But it seems as if CBS Sports' college basketball experts believe we're set up for <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/expert-picks/straight-up/regional-semifinals" target="_blank">an epic Elite Eight match-up in our nation's capital.</a> The experts unanimously give a nod to the Hurricanes in their match-up against Marquette. Only Matt Norlander disagreed with his compatriots, taking the Orange against the Indiana Hoosiers.</p>
