Bracket Projections and Predictions

We have spent the past 3 days analyzing this bracket and have come up with our thoughts and predictions on the first round upsets, Sweet 16, Final Four and Champion.

First Round Upsets:

Our best bet for the first round upsets are:

Xavier #14 seed over Gonzaga (if the Zags do not lose here, they will lose to Indiana in the second round)

NC State #10 seed over California (The Bears have been too inconsistent all season and NC State has faced tougher competition this year)

Seton Hall #10 seed over Wichita State (The Pirates have been an enigma, losing to lower quality teams and beating better quality teams. The Shockers are a better quality team and we like Seton Hall to prevail here)

UAB #9 over Kentucky, NC Wilmington #9 over George Washington, Wisconson #9 over Arizona

Sweet 16:

Our Sweet 16 selections are:

Duke
LSU
WVU
Texas
Memphis
Kansas
Indiana
UCLA
Connecticut
Illinois
UNC
Seton Hall
Villanova
BC
Florida
Ohio State

Final 4:

Our Final Four is:

Texas
UCLA
Connecticut
Florida

and we like the Texas Longhorns as this year's national champion.

Whatever the results, we wish you luck on your bracket and we hope everyone enjoys the NCAA Tournament.
