NCAA Tournament Quick Takes By: Jerry Lee

        

South Region

UVA minus Hunter could be in trouble besides the NCAA doing them no favors. I still have them advancing to the final four. Creighton, UK, and UT among the victims. 

Possible Upsets

Buffalo has a similar RPI to Arizona and are well coached even if Arizona advances I like Kentucky.

Kentucky will have a challenge with Davidson but I believe they've been in too many wars for them and Arizona if they advance. It's hard to not pick Kentucky over UVA another possible upset.

Loyola-Chicago like you guys talked about last night. I've got UT over them but I wouldn't be shocked. 

Nevada over Cincy. I end up with CINCY, UT, KY, AND UVA taking that region

West Region

This bracket took me the longest and can go all kinds of ways

Possible Upsets

Could Texas Southern be the first 16 to knock out a 1? Not likely but the closest 1 vs.16

BEEFS team in South Dakota State also look out for San Diego State who could possibly challenge Michigan. Providence another ten seed although, Texas A&M could give Carolina terrible fits with their size. 

I ended up taking Gonzaga over Xavier because Xavier gives up an insane amount of points in the paint. I love this Xavier team and am pulling for them. I also go Michigan over UNC. I have Michigan to advance.

EAST REGION

This bracket has more upsets but again ends in chalk. I have Villanova over Purdue

Possible Upsets

Marshall over Wichita State

St.Bonaventure to the sweet 16 beating my next 1st round upset of SF AUSTIN who will upset Texas Tech. 

BUTLER would not surprise me to move past Purdue but I couldn't pull the string. I have Villanova advancing to the Final Four.

MIDWEST REGION

My hatred for Kansas fans is the highest out of any fan base. But my Final Four for this group had NEW MEXICO STATE, KANSAS, MICHIGAN STATE, AND DUKE. IMO, I believe the winner of Duke and Michigan State will win it all. 

Possible Upsets

New Mexico State and Syracuse. I believe Syracuse gets past TCU. If you can't tell I think the Big 12 is overrated. Clemson could easily take the place of NMState but we know there will be upsets. 

So I have Duke advancing over Kansas.

FINAL FOUR

UVA OVER MICHIGAN and I think the talent and length of Duke takes down the experience of Villanova. These games could go either way. I had zero intention of making it a ACC final. 

But with that said a little humor in my final score. No team has reached 70 on UVA all year. My final DUKE 70-UVA59
