March Madness Tourney Begins

This is one of those years where I have no idea who to choose for my bracket. I decided to be as random as possible. I assume not many people would have the same Final Four as I do. Lets's begin with the South bracket:

I have 1 Florida beating 9 Pitt to make the Sweet 16

12 Stephen F. Austin will be my only double digit team making the Sweet 16 beating 4 UCLA to do so.

I was iffy about picking 3 Syracuse to make it to the Sweet 16 because of the backlash of their offense but decided to pick them over 6 Ohio State.

I feel 2 Kansas has enough fire power to make it to the Sweet 16 beating 7 New Mexico.

After that I have 1 Florida making it out of their Bracket by beating 2 Kansas

Next in the West

I have 1 Arizona beating 8 Gonzaga to make the Sweet 16

I recently became a fan of 4 SDSU especially when I went to their campus last year so I picked them to make it to the Sweet 16 by beating 12 North Dakota St

I picked 3 Creighton to also advance by beating 11 Nebraska

Finally I chose 2 Wisconsin to be my 8th team to the Sweet 16

I know that not all number 1 seeds do not make the Final Four, Florida will be my only Number 1 to making it. I chose 2 Wisconsin beating 1 Arizona in the Elite 8.

The Midwest also known as the Wichita State has to prove themselves bracket.

I have 1 Wichita State making it to at least the Sweet 16 beating an 8 seeded Kentucky team.

I see Louisville making another Sweet 16 getting though 5 Saint Louis.

I felt safe picking 3 Duke beating 11 Tennessee to make it to the Sweet 16 for their 28th Sweet 16.

2 Michigan will make their 13th Sweet 16 after beating 7 Texas.

I see 4 Louisville making a third straight appearance to the Final Four after beating Duke

The final section in the East Region goes this way

1 Virginia tops 8 Memphis but doesn't get further than the Sweet 16.

4 Michigan St. will be Ivy league 12 Harvard to make an 18th Sweet 16 appearance

I have my favorite of this region 3 Iowa St beating 6 UNC

Finally I have 7 UConn upsetting 2 Kansas to make it to the second weekend

I chose 3 Iowa State to beat 4 Michigan St even though I know many people probably have them in their Final Game.

Florida will beat Iowa St to make the Championship game and Louisville will return to defend their crown after getting passed Wisconsin

Florida will win 75-68

I am not confident about this bracket at all compared to previous years. I did guess Louisville correct last year but I assume there will be more madness than what I predict here. I didn't pay attention to much college basketball except for the major ACC games and highlights on ESPN./ I just hope that this tourney is as entertaining as last years.
