NCAA Tournament Bracket: Picks and Predictions
Writing by Igor Ivanov on Monday, 17 of March , 2008 at 11:34 am
Selection Sunday has come and gone. No surprises with the top four seeds: UCLA, Kansas, North Carolina and Memphis. Ah, but nothing will come easy for any of those four.
My inclination on a per-game basis is to fade North Carolina and support Kansas. The Tar Heels are ranked No. 1 in the polls and the Jayhawks are fifth, but they swap positions in the Pomeroy efficiency rankings. Wisconsin got hosed with a No. 3 seed despite ranking fourth in efficiency and winning the Big Ten. And what about Kansas State (No. 15 Pomeroy) with an 11-seed?
Otherwise, the low-major spoilers are always worth our betting attention. Davidson drew a tough assignment against Gonzaga (+1.5), though, so I’m looking at St. Mary’s over Miami (-2).
Oh, and the UCLA Bruins to win it all. Not a good value at 7-2, but this is a prediction, not a pick. For value, I like the aforementioned Badgers at 25-1.
