March Madness predictions 2019: Virginia is going to win it all. West Region
First Round
#1 Gonzaga vs. #16 Fairleigh Dickinson: Jahlil Jenkins and Darnell Edge were amazing at the First Four, but the Zags have too good of an offense. Pick: Gonzaga
#8 Syracuse vs. #9 Baylor: What is that you say? Syracuse in the NCAA championship? GotId proceed with the Orange. Pick: Syracuse
#5 Marquette vs. #12 Murray StateI literally looked like the heart eyes emoji if they declared this game. Ja Morant vs. Markus Howard. Superstar vs. Superstar. Can we replace one of the Pac-12 teams and keep whichever one loses? No? Fine, let’s go with the Racers as the Golden Eagles closed the regular season with four straight losses. Pick: Murray State
#4 Florida State vs. #13 Vermont: FSU is very, very good. They ought to be a No. 3 seed. The Catamounts aren’t poor, but the length and athleticism of the Seminoles will be too much for them to overcome. Select: Florida State
#6 Buffalo vs. #11 St. John’s: Buffalo is under-seeded, in my estimation. The Bulls have been No. 22 on KenPom, and have the No. 19 offense and No. 29 defense. CJ Massinburg is a fictitious celebrity, and that I believe the Bulls are too much for St. John’s. Pick: Buffalo
#3 Texas Tech vs. #14 Northern Kentucky: DE-FENSE [CLAP CLAP] DE-FENSE [CLAP CLAP] The Red Raiders have both the No. 1 defense AND Jarrett Culver. Their offense has struggled at times, but they will not have a problem with the Norse. Select: Texas Tech
#7 Nevada vs. #10 Florida: KenPom has this as a pick’em (one stage Nevada win), and Vegas favors the Wolfpack by two. Nevada is prone to falling behind early and utilizing drives and threes from the Martin twins to scale back in. The Gators have ended the season strong and seem to be peaking at the right moment. Despite Jordan Caroline being among my favorite players, I think Florida gets this in a close one. Select: Florida
#2 Michigan vs. #15 Montana: Michigan got a bad draw in needing to play the same team they faced in the opening round this past year. That Montana group was much better than this one, along with the Wolverines rolled. They will roll. Select: Michigan
Second Round
#1 Gonzaga vs. #8 Syracuse: Syracuse against Gonzaga. No background there, right? In 2016, the Orange snuck by Gonzaga by three to make the Elite Eight where they mad Virginia to make a Final Four. This season, the Zags get revenge. Select: Gonzaga
#5 Murray State vs. #4 Florida State: The Ja Morant Cinderella story concludes. Mfiondu Kabengele along with the Seminoles do just enough to slow down the Racers and proceed to the Sweet 16. Pick: Florida State
#3 Texas Tech vs. #6 Buffalo : UPSET PICK. BUFFALO TO THE SWEET 16. The Bulls have a difficult defense and will make things hard enough for TTU to evaluate they move on. Pick: Buffalo
#2 Michigan vs. #10 Florida: I’ve noticed this bowl game before. Iggy Brazdeikis, Jordan Poole, Charles Matthews, and Jon Teske are simply too much for the Gators within this one. Pick: Michigan
Sweet Sixteen
#1 Gonzaga vs. #4 Florida State: Sticking with FSU’s span and their ability to disrupt the Zags on offense. The Seminoles do not have the best crime, but they’re strong enough to maintain Gonzaga honest. This should be an amazing game, so I hope we get to see it. Select: Florida State
#2 Michigan vs. #6 Buffalo: After viewing the No. 1 defense in TTU, things just let up slightly for Buffalo using Michigan’s No. 2 defense. It’s too much for the Bulls in back-to-back games and they run out of steam in the second half. Select: Michigan
Elite Eight
#2 Michigan vs. #4 Florida State: Another fantastic game if we can get it. I enjoy Michigan’s defense as the big men indoors can bang with the best of them. I don’t trust FSU’s shooting enough to allow them to get sufficient on Michigan’s defense. Select: Michigan
