As the NCAA Tournament progresses, so is that of the Dallas Stars SuperBracket. Let’s see who, what, or when advanced to this weekend’s Final Four.

The spectacle of March Madness is often times unbelievable; surprise players, Cinderella stories, upsets, busted brackets across the land, and exciting play from teams of schools you’re in no way familiar with.

Last week, the team at Blackout Dallas assembled a massive Dallas Stars tournament bracket (innovatively entitled a “SuperBracket”), in order to duplicate this format, and for the fans and voters, hopefully the same excitement.

On Thursday, the SuperBracket’s Elite Eight began – a best-of-the-best, ultimate regional champion battle – with the results that follow.

Let’s take a look at the four matches played on Thursday:
