2015 NCAA Hoops Brackets

Wednesday, March 18, 2015



I got brackets.  The seeding is really good this year; I can't recall it being better.

Midwest
Rnd One
Kentucky
Cincinnati (not with much confidence, but I have them in every build)
Buffalo
Valpo (I've got the two dogs here; not for good reason, both should lose, but upsets will happen)
Texas (also an upset, but Texas is better than Butler)
Notre Dame
Wichita St.
Kansas

West
Rnd One
Wisconsin
Oklahoma St (I'm a Pac 12 guy and this is a close game, but have OK St in every build)
Arkansas
UNC
Ole Miss (Xavier's better)
Baylor
Ohio St.
Arizona

East
Rnd One
Villanova
NC St (I don't know my deal with 8/9s this year, they're all real close but I haven't wavered)
Northern Iowa
Louisville
Boise/Dayton Winner (again, upsets)
Oklahoma
Michigan St.
Virginia

South
Rnd One
Duke
San Diego St.
Utah
Georgetown
UCLA (both here and the Davidson game, I'm picking the slightly worse side)
Iowa St.
Davidson
Gonzaga

Rnd of 32

Midwest
Kentucky
Valpo (Maryland is most likely in this spot)
NDame
Wichita St (I'm married to Wichita going over Kansas)

West
Wisconsin
UNC
Baylor
Arizona

East
Villanova
Northern Iowa (as with Wichita, I have them over Louisville in every build)
Oklahoma
Virginia

South
Duke
Utah
Iowa St.
Gonzaga

Sweet 16

Midwest
Kentucky
Notre Dame

West
Wisconsin
Arizona

East
Villanova
Virginia

South
Utah (Utah might lose in round one; if my bracket gets busted, that's where it happens)
Gonzaga

Elite 8

Kentucky (everyone has Kentucky coming out of the region)
Arizona
Villanova
Gonzaga (all three of those games are essentially jump balls)

Final Four
Arizona (look, Kentucky's the best team, but the difference between them and Arizona is smaller, say, that the difference between Manhattan and Hampton and Hampton led the whole way; there's distance between perception of Kentucky and Kentucky - but Kentucky is the best team)
Villanova (I'd enjoy an all west final, but instead am going with Nova)

Finals
Arizona (they beat Kentucky, after all - didn't you hear?)
