Quick Thoughts

• Kentucky has an easy road and deservedly so. The bottom half of that bracket is very intriguing, but obviously the Wildcats can only play one of those eight.
• Virginia had a good draw in that they get to play in Charlotte in the same bracket as Villanova. Unfortunately, Michigan State could be a brutal second game for the Wahoos in the event that each advances.
• Northern Iowa and Louisville could be an excellent Round of 32 game. Louisville has a very reasonable path to the Final Four.
• Duke seems to have a fairly clear path to the the Elite Eight. I like Iowa State to beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.
• lol UCLA
• If North Carolina and Arkansas meet in the Round of 32, that promises to be an excellent up-tempo matchup.
• Final Four: Kentucky, Arizona, Iowa State, and Louisville
