2026 NCAA Men's Tournament: Last Time Each Elite Eight Team Reached the Final Four

UConn is the recent powerhouse — back-to-back national champs (37–3 in the repeat season) and four players went to the 2024 NBA Draft, including two top-7 picks.
Tennessee keeps knocking on the door — three straight Elite Eight appearances but the program has still never reached a Final Four.
Duke remains a headline-maker: a consistent Elite Eight team recently, but last year’s Final Four trip ended in a heartbreaker when they blew a six‑point lead with 1:14 to play (Houston won 70–67).

Iran is now demanding recognition of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and is hinting at a permanent “toll” or control system after using blockages as leverage in the war.
Attacks and disruptions have nearly halted shipping through Hormuz, rattling global energy markets and prompting emergency measures far beyond the region.
Tehran may try to monetize control — estimates put potential toll revenue in the hundreds of millions monthly (comparable to Suez Canal income) — but international law and major powers insist navigation must remain toll-free.
