March Madness

March Madness

March is a very fun and crazy month for college basketball. The 64 best teams are selected to a tournament to play for the best team in Division 1 basketball. Separated into 4 divisions, the tournament is one of the most anticipated events through the whole year. Full of upsets and remarkable comebacks, everyone has a shot to win the whole thing.
Top seeds this year are Arizona, Kansas, Wichita State, and Florida. Wichita State completed the season undefeated and are my favorite to win the whole thing. They are a surging team with a lot of momentum going into the tournament. Many people claim they are not as good because of their schedule, but they still have proven they don’t lose even against top teams like St Louis and Bringham Young, both top 50 teams.
Other high seeds like Syracuse are at a low point. Losing many games towards the end of the season, and are coming into the tournament on a cold streak and are one of my top seeds to be upset early in the tournament. After starting the season off at record pace, they have struggled towards the end of the year.

My Final Four predictions are Creighton, Wichita State, Iowa State, and Kentucky. Big upsets early in the tournament include Syracuse, Texas, and Ohio State. My winner for the tournament is Wichita State.
