East Region Predictions
Looking through this bracket, it’s hard not to think about the names, the fan bases, the tradition, and all of the storylines at play. The Tar Heels and their quest to erase all doubt; Kentucky and Indiana, forced to match up should they both win game one, with one of them heading home before the Sweet 16. Even on the bottom half, easily the weakest subsect of any bracket in the tournament, we’ve got the chance of a Notre Dame and Michigan opener, before someone draws the unfortunate pleasure of game planning for Press Virginia on short rest.
With all of that said, we’ve got to make our calls on who advances to the second weekend and who sees their season end without fanfare, fading to black until hopes for next year arise once again.
Watch the video above for our calls.
