West Bracket Prediction

Round 1

1 Gonzaga V. 16 Southern

Ummm who is Southern?

8 Pittsburgh V. Wichita State

This will be a good game. I think Pittsburgh pulls this one out which leads to a great game against Gonzaga

5 Wisconsin V. 12 Ole Miss

Ole Miss will not be able to hang with Wisconsin in any way, shape or form. Bo Ryan will not lose in the first round.

4 Kansas State V. 13 Boise State

Another stupid play in game. Kansas Sate wins this one easily.

6 Arizona V. 11 Belmont 

I dont think much of Arizona this season. They have not been able to put their team together all season. Belmont is a trendy upset pick and I will have to go with that trend.

3 New Mexico V. 14 Harvard

New Mexico is an underrated team this year. Not many people know about them because they are from the Mountain West, but they will turn heads this year.

7 Notre Dame V. 10 Iowa State

Iowa State should win this game. Notre Dame is almost as overrated as their football team.

2 Ohio State V. 15 Iona

I want to pick Iona, but picking a 15 seed over a 2 seed is not a good idea.

Round of 32

1 Gonzaga V. 8 Pittsburgh 

Pittsburgh can cause problems for Gonzaga. I think Gonzaga is overrated, but they will not lose before the Sweet 16.

4 Kansas State V. 5 Wisconsin 

This game will be played in Kansas City which gives the Wildcats home court advantage and I think that puts them over the top against Wisconsin.

3 New Mexico V. 11 Belmont

Belmont had their lone upset against Arizona. They will get no sympathy against New Mexico.

2 Ohio State V. 10 Iowa State

Ohio State should take control of this game from the start. They should not have to worry about Iowa State.

Sweet 16

1 Gonzaga V. 4 Kansas State

Kansas State is no pushover and will take care of this overrated Gonzaga team. I dont see Gonzaga as an Elite 8 team much less a Final 4 team.

3 New Mexico V. 2 Ohio State

Nobody has New Mexico going too far, but I think they will go far. Ohio State will not be able to hang with them. New Mexico is simply too good.

Elite 8

3 New Mexico V. 4 Kansas State

New Mexico will be going to the Final 4. Kansas State is not good enough inside to hang with New Mexico. New Mexico will be the second 3 seed going to the final 4.
