Here are the tournament brackets from the NCAA and its corporate champion, Capital One, where Auburn is the number one overall seed and they head up the South Region destination, Atlanta and Beyond, with one wins. They are a one seed for the second time ever behind SEC Player of the Year Janay Broom. They will be scouting the first four matchups between Alabama State, the Southwest Atlantic Champions and St. Francis in the tournament for the first time since 1991 with a record of 16 and 17. We move to Thursday action in
Lexington, where we find Louisville, is the eighth seed and going to Lexington, picked to finish ninth in the ACC but now with head coach Pat Kelce, they won 19 more games than a year ago. Back in the dance for the first time since 2019, their opponent will be the Creighton Blue Jays behind Ryan Brenner, over 19 points a game and is named Big East Defensive Player of the Year for a record fourth straight season. Next up is action in Denver on Thursday, where the five seed is Michigan and they’re still celebrating their Big 10 crown and a 17-point improvement.
NCAA bracket for March Madness
their first year under Dusty May and they’ve got a lot to celebrate but they have to be wondering, did we just win the Big 10 title? How come we’re a five seed?? I’m a little surprised to see them that low. Not a great year there for the Big 10. And they will face in Denver, you see San Diego, the Tritons making their first appearance in their first season of tournament eligibility and bringing the nation’s longest winning streak, 15 in a row and one of the best offenses and defenses in the country. When you talk about forcing
turnovers and scoring the basketball. We move on to the four vs.13 game and it’s Texas A&M. They got their first-ever win over a number one in school history when they defeated Auburn earlier this year. They’re in the same region; they lead the nation in offensive rebounding and they will face the Ivy League Champs. Yale Bulldogs back-to-back for the first time in school history; that is a tough matchup. Texas and I had a great year to get Yale in this tournament. Yale is aspherical as anybody in this tournament.

So is Texas A&M all right? We go to the bottom half of the South region with games in Milwaukee on Friday and it’s Ole Miss in for the first time since 2019, led by a roster of 10 seniors and they will be scouting the first four in San Diego. Look at this: San Diego State is to face North Carolina. Well, if anyone wants to know what everyone’s going to be talking about after the show, North Carolina is your answer with that 1 and2 quad one record they got because of their non-conference strength.
of schedule, which was the fifth strongest in the country but that’s going to be a big-time topic of conversation, no question about it. All right, the three seed is playing on Friday and it is Iowa State, a 17 and 2 start, hoping to get a couple stars back from injury in Tam Lippy and Kean Gilbert. They will face the Lippmann Bison. The guys from Nashville are making their second-ever appearance in a 710 matchup in Cleveland. We have Marquette. Shako Smart’s team is the seven seed and they will face the New Mexico Lobos, led.

by Mountain West Player of the Year Donovan Dent helping Richard Pitino earn Conference Coach of the Year, Donovan Dent, Cam Jones in that one, and the two seed is Michigan State. Tom ISO makes it 27 straight NCAA tournament appearances, extending his own record 7—one against ranked power conference opponents this year. A. A remarkable season for Michigan State, not really on anybody’s radar screen to start the season, worked themselves into a two seed by how well they performed, and they will face to get things going Bryant Bulldogs from the.
America East is led by Phil Martello Jr., so let’s zoom out now on the south and transition back up to the top of this bracket. Seth, what stands out here? Well, I’m going to start with my upsets right away. Everybody gets used to saying Ana because you see San Diego is going to defeat only Michigan in the first round. I like Yale to pull off another first-round upset over Texas A&M, which means the Tritons, in their first season in Division One, get to keep playing. They are going to the Sweet 16. Well, I tell you, looking at Louisville as an.

eighteen,, that had to be surprising to that team and Pat Kelce’s phenomenal year, played in the ACC tournament championship game and ended up being in that. We’re going to go down to the bottom of the bracket now and obviously the North Carolina situation. It’ll be interesting to hear how they ended up being in the bracket based on what the numbers look like, but again new metrics and we’ll have to explain that to us later on. If you go down to the bottom there, second from the bottom, that Marquette-New Mexico I.
mentioned it earlier: two of the best point guards in the country going at it. That is going to be a great matchup, and Michigan State is thinking about where they were early in the season. If you look at them at the bottom as a two seed, poor Phil Maratelli Jr. is getting a hot team that I think is a little upset that they didn’t make it to the finals of the Big 10 so that Michigan State is going to be ready to go. All right, one region in the books and the guys will have big predictions later in the show.
