I’ll start by saying that I am no expert in college basketball. I know maybe a dozen players in the NCAA and that’s a generous estimate. The base of knowledge is essentially what I’ve learned in the past few days of reading previews for the tournament starting today.
So, why should you listen – err, read – my opinion? Because it’s usually the person who knows the least about the bracket that turns out to be the winner. Granted, I can’t recall if I’ve ever won a pool, which more than likely means that I haven’t. Heck, if I had, I would be bragging about it more often.
So, here’s what I think of the tournament in a regional breakdown.
MIDWEST
Frisky underdog: St. Mary’s – they’ve already won one game and I’d take them over Memphis.
Darkhorse: Saint Louis – the Bilikens may not be known by many, but they could bust your bracket by beating Louisville.
First big favourite to fall: Duke against Michigan State in the Sweet 16 – Yes, the top four teams are that strong in this region.
Best game: Louisville vs. Saint Louis in the Sweet 16.
Winner: Michigan State – can’t go against Tom Izzo.
WEST
Frisky underdog: Wichita State.
Darkhorse: Wisconsin.
First big favourite to fall: Gonzaga against Wisconsin in the Sweet 16.
Best game: New Mexico against Ohio State in the Sweet 16.
Winner: Ohio State.
SOUTH
Frisky underdog: North Carolina – You can never count out the Tarheels, even if they’re only an eighth seed.
Darkhorse: VCU – Shaka Smart has proven to be a great leader.
First favourite to fall: Michigan against VCU in the round of 32.
Best game: Florida vs. UCLA in the Round of 32.
Winner: Kansas – Got to love Ben McLemore.
EAST
Frisky underdog: Temple.
Darkhorse: Bucknell.
First favourite to fall: Indiana against Miami in the regional final.
Best game: Indiana against Miami in the regional final.
Winner: Miami – could’ve been a no. 1 seed.
THE FINAL FOUR
The teams: Michigan State, Ohio State, Kansas, Miami.
The big winner: Kansas over Michigan State.
Why: They can score at will and have some tournament experience.
