Bracket Predictions
Rolstad bracket commentary
When talking to the media Sunday, Kansas coach Bill Self said this season's tournament will likely be a four or five-team tournament. I chose several shocking upsets, such as Iowa State going home against Nevada, but none of those
will factor into the final outcome of the tournament.
This year's tournament field includes plenty of formidable teams, but the top two seeds in every region are the only real contenders. North Carolina and Louisville have quietly been the most outstanding teams in the country this season and their under-the-radar excellence will show in the later stages of the tournament.
I predicted Kansas to lose to Louisville in the Elite Eight because of the team's streaky, at times inconsistent, scoring might come back to bite them against a quality opponent like the Cardinals. North Carolina might not be the best team in the country this season,
but I've chosen the Tar Heels to defeat a talented Arizona team that won the Pac-12 and looks to have an easy road to the Final Four in the West region.
