March Madness is back! And with even more states having legal betting this year, be ready for even more bad beat stories. Gonzaga is the consensus betting favorite to win the tournament again this year, will they be able to get over the hump and win it all? Duke, on Coach K’s farewell tour, may have something to say about that. Baylor returns to this year’s tournament as a #1 seed after winning it all last year, can they pull off the rare back-to-back championship – the first since Florida in 2005-2006? Here is how I see the tournament breaking down this year:
Status (30/63):
Round of 64: 19/32 correct
Round of 32: 9/16 correct
Sweet Sixteen: 2/8 correct
Elite Eight: 0/4 correct (Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Baylor, Kentucky, Arizona, Villanova, Kansas, Auburn)
Final Four: 0/2 correct (Gonzaga, Kentucky, Arizona, Auburn)
Champion: Arizona over Kentucky
