March Madness has arrived!
Here are my predictions:
East: #1 North Carolina is the team to beat with no other team in this region that they will have to worry about. #2 Tennessee is the most overrated team in the country and Bruce Pearl is one of the most overrated coaches in America. Look for them to get upset against #3 Louisville if not sooner.
Final 8 - #1 North Carolina vs. #3 Louisville
Winner - #1 North Carolina
Midwest: #1 Kansas is good, but not that good. They get lucky with the 3-point shot. Bill Self is also overrated as a coach. #6 USC have been hot and cold all season and may be a sleeper in this region. #2 Georgetown will be tough to beat.
Final 8 - #1 Kansas vs. #2 Georgetown
Winner - #2 Georgetown
South: #1 Memphis has the talent to win it all, but how will their fast-break and no defense game fare against a stong opponent? I think they have what it takes to win this region, but do not forget about #3 Stanford whom I think will beat #2 Texas in the Sweet 16.
Final 8 - #1 Memphis vs. #3 Stanford
Winner - #1 Memphis
West: Contrary to what many analysts are saying, I think the West if the toughest bracket with 4 solid teams in #4 UConn, #3 Xavier, #2 Duke, and top-seeded UCLA. #2 Duke is underrated and #4 UConn could give #1 UCLA problems. I think #1 UCLA should make it out of the West.
Final 8 - #1 UCLA vs. #2 Duke
Winner - #1 UCLA
Final Four - North Carolina will be tough to beat wtih all their talent and UCLA can win it all this year without Florida standing in their way.
Finals - North Carolina vs UCLA
WINNER - UCLA
