March Madness is upon us and there are 28 Canadians taking part in this year's tournament. There are four left to battle in the Elite Eight.

Here's when and where you can watch the Canadian players in action on Sunday, March 29.

SUNDAY, MARCH 29

SOUTH: No. 1 Duke vs. No. 2 Gonzaga – 5:05 p.m. ET in Houston, TX

This is the game Gonzaga wanted: a showdown with No. 1 Duke with a spot in the Final Four on the line. Kevin Pangos (Holland Landing, ON) had 10 points and Kyle Wiltjer (Portland, OR) added eight points and 10 rebounds to help power the Bulldogs past UCLA 74-62 on Friday. Dustin Triano (Vancouver, BC) is also a member of the Zags.

Taking down the Blue Devils won't be easy. They have the kind of presence in the post, led by talented freshman Jahlil Okafor, to challenge the Bulldogs' bigs on the defensive end. If Duke goes small and puts Justise Winslow at power forward, Wiltjer will have his hands full guarding him.

Gonzaga does have an experience advantage. Their starting five is made up of three seniors and two juniors while Duke starts four freshman. Together the wily college veterans will try to earn the program's first ever trip to the Final Four.

 

''We wanted to be a team that got [to the Elite Eight] as well, just make a statement that we're one of the top programs in the country,'' said Pangos. ''It's a great feeling to be here, but we're not satisfied. We really want to make that next step.''
