Haven’t a clue who to choose? Use Coke Zero’s Bracket-O-Matic. (I ended up with Florida A&M versus Belmont in the Finals, with Florida A&M winning by setting it to complete Cinderella and Underdog. That would be a tournament worth watching. Upsets in every game— wouldn’t that be fun? The Twilight Zone of college basketball.) If you’re feeling more serious, then use Team Ranking’s Bracket Brains.
My underdog favorite? Vanderbilt. I was there when they won the NIT in 1990, and I would love to see them win the NCAA Tournament.
My bracket has already been crushed with the Duke loss. I had Duke upsetting a few rounds.
