First Round

#1 Virginia vs. #16 Gardner-Webb: THIS IS NOT REMOTELY AN EXCITING? MOVE ON LET'S JUST NOT TALK ABOUT IT. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Select: Virginia #8 Ole Miss vs. #9 Oklahoma: [long pause] Umm, Ole Miss? Pick: Ole Miss #5 Wisconsin vs. #12 OregonI refuse to select a Pac-12 team, and Oregon's best win of the season was against Syracuse to a neutral court. Their defense is good, but the crime isn't. That will not be enough to get it done against Wisconsin. Pick: Wisconsin #4 Kansas State vs. #13 UC Irvine: This is the bad combo of a hot double-digit seed meeting a Power 5 school with injuries. The Anteaters beat upon the Big West Conference, winning both the regular season and conference championship titles. K-State won't have Barry Brown, meaning they will need to make up for his scoring and game management somewhere. Oh, also UC Irvine has a dude. MAX HAZZARD!!! Pick: UC Irvine #6 Villanova vs. #11 Saint Mary's: The Wildcats are nowhere near the team they were last year when they won the tournament, but they can still shoot threes fairly well and should not have any difficulties with St. Mary's. It is going to be close, though. Pick: Villanova #3 Purdue vs. #14 Old Dominion: LET'S GET CRAZY. Old Dominion over Purdue after Carsen Edwards includes a quiet day, while BJ Stith and Ahmad Caver move OFF. Select: Old Dominion #7 Cincinnati vs. #10 Iowa: This is the yelling coach sport as Fran McCaffrey and Mick Cronin are known for their. . .fiery characters on the sidelines. Iowa was leaking every type of fluid down the stretch and are limping to the tournament. Cincinnati takes it in a bodily, gritty game. Select: Cincinnati #2 Tennessee vs. #15 Colgate: Colgate has as much chance here as an actual tube of toothpaste. The Volunteers are large, physical, and Tennessee moves on easily. Pick: Tennessee Second Round #1 Virginia vs. #9 Ole Miss: The Cavaliers are overly much on both offense and defense as they're the only team in the nation from the top-5 in both on KenPom. Pick: Virginia #5 Wisconsin vs. #13 UC Irvine: Wisconsin's outside shooting goes cold and UC Irvine's run in the postseason persists. Am I just picking this because literally nobody wishes to see Virginia-Wisconsin in the Sweet 16? Maybe. Select: UC Irvine #12 Old Dominion vs. #6 Villanova: Cinderella's ball is cut short. Nova shoots ODU out of the gym. Select: Villanova #7 Cincinnati vs. #1 Tennessee: CINCY VS TENNY IN COLUMBUS. Ok, fine, I will not call them"Tenny" again. This one is really a brutal conflict, but Tennessee squeaks out one late as a result of a large play from Jordan Bone. Select: Tennessee Sweet Sixteen #1 Virginia vs. #13 UC Irvine: The Cavaliers have construction confidence as they cruise into the Elite Eight. De'Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome, and Kyle Guy are too much for the Anteaters, moving them one win away in the promise land. Pick: Virginia #6 Villanova vs. #2 Tennessee: Another game that I desperately want to see. Finesse vs. braun. Villanova slows down things and gets hot from outside since Paschall has a major day at the paint. Select: Villanova Elite Eight #1 Virginia vs. #6 Villanova: Villanova is worn out after a tough game with Tennesee and can not figure out the Bundle Line shield. It is going to be close through the first half, but the Hoos pull away down the stretch.
