Five months after the start of more than 300 university basketball teams in the season with dreams of the championship, the number of competitors has now decreased to 68.
With the NCAA basketball championship revealed its 68 -team arch, the NBC News is here to destroy the teams and players, from the best seeds to the potential Cinderella stories.
Men’s Championship will be held on April 7 in San Antonio Alamodom. Connecticut, who won successive championships in 2023 and 2024, begins her defense for the title as ranked No. 8.
The best seed that I feel more anxious is
Grave: Florida. The western region is the most difficult championship on paper with the tops of the highest seeded seed surrounded by St. Jones, Texas Tech and Maryland, all of which are ranked in the 12 best in the country by Kane Pomiroy, Its classifications It is something of the Bible in sports.
By winning the brutal SEC Championship – it was largely the best conference in the country this season and produced 14 teams of NCAA – GATORS has shown that it could prevail in a loaded field, but it seems that it has been given the utmost difficulty.
Auerbach: Oporn and Florida. Duke is still the best team in the country, as long as it is supposed to play NBA NBA Pick Coper Flagg. Houston is strangely underestimated although it is the best (and healthier (and healthier) group for Clevin Sampson so far. I love both of these two teams to reach the four final. I am very worried about other seeds No. 1.
Oporn lost three of its last four games, heading to the selection on Sunday, which concerns me a little given that the tigers may face Spartans Michigan State in Michigan in the eighth elite. Izzo took eight different teams to Final Four, and this particular team has this type of DNA.
In a completely different note, I am concerned about Florida because of the path it drew. Gators hot hot and plays as well as anyone in the country enters this championship, but they have St. John. This may be a very difficult path after a normal season that left at the Supreme Education Council.
They call me: I am a little tense on your roots. Yes, I know that Blue Devils won the last two games of ACC without Flagg – and I know that things are heading towards playing Flagg in the first round – but I wonder if Duke was a little weak with the best player to be injured.
Is any part of Flagg that will be careful with his career in the American Professional League on the horizon? This is with how every school of blue demons is treated like their personal national championship when the tournament comes, I am curious to find out how Duke responds early in the bow.
Cinderella story for the tournament will be …
DevoutOcron, because of his crime. Zips, the thirteenth seed, who faces Arizona, the fourth seed in the first round, plays in one of the fastest rhythms in the country and achieve triple throws in each game. They should be able to play in their favorite pace because their opponent loves to play quickly. More properties and more field air attempts are equal to more opportunities to expel a higher seed.
Auerbach: Drake. Bulldogs was already one of the best stories throughout university basketball – this is not only because their wonderful live amulet, Grave II, stole the show in the Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
After winning four national championships in the second division in the northwestern state of Missouri, Ben Maclum jumped to the first section and immediately began winning basketball matches at this level. Drake won the normal MVC season and the conference championship in its first season.
This team rises very well on both parties while forcing many transformations, which means that the bullg is usually gets much more registration opportunities than their opponents. They are ranked first in the nation in the rhythm, which increases the property to the maximum by playing at a slow pace that they have more chances to register more than their opponents, and their opponents feel more pressure because they will not have many opportunities to compensate for empty property. This is a winning mix, and as I like to say in March, the patterns do battles.
They call me: Can you the story of Cinderella if you are the sixth seed? I don’t care, because I choose the tigers in Missouri. Missouri ranked fifth in the modified offensive efficiency in Kinbum, and I love riding with a team that could be registered in March. Beyond that, the tigers ended 0-18 in the Supreme Education Council last year. This is true – Missouri launches Vow Conference season. The tigers simply make the SEC championship loaded is Cinderella’s achievement in itself. The school must have a good opportunity to keep it in March.
The players are very excited to see it
Grave: Oh, you mean, unlike the most obvious answer to Duke’s Flagg, and the preferred possibilities to be the best choice in the American Professional League draft in June, but who was injured in his ankle last week? In this case, I want to watch the 6 -year -old big man John Broome from the Supreme Oborn, who, like Flagg, is the semi -final of the Naismith Cup, who goes to the best player in the country.
I also want to see the way Ryan like Carkrner of Creton, another semi -finals in Naismith who linked Patrick Iwing four times the prize for the best defensive player in the Great East, deter his opponents for trying clips near the edge.
Auerbach: Cooper Flagg, Johni Broome and Zuby Ejiofor
Flagg is a self -clarification, assuming that it is healthy. It is expected that the number 1 selection in the American Professional League draft is incredibly armed to watch it, which is why his injury during the ACC championship was such problems. Fortunately, he is expected to play in March Madness – and here he hopes to be close to 100 %, so we learn if one of the best teams in the country throughout the year ends up with the best team in this tournament.
Brom, The best player in Oporn, may be Nation The best player. It is Flagg Vs. BROOME for this year’s national player’s awards, and is right. The veterinarian in the old school and dual -dual -tigers have led to the tigers throughout the season, and he will try to carry this team all the way to a national championship in the coming weeks. Although she lost three of the last four games, Oporn is still ready to run a deep march because of his age and experience, led by Boom.
Ejiofor, the St. John Center, achieved some huge shows when Johnnies needed more than others-where the last 33 points achieved the semi-finals of the Big East and Beather-Beater against Marquette at the end of the team’s normal season.
“I have been training for 50 years,” said St. John coach Rick Betino. “There are very few Zubys coming.”
Pitino itself will be one of the largest March Madness stories, which means that we will all learn more about this team and many dynamic games makers.
Call meI will also avoid the clear choice in Flagg and give some love to Walter Clayton JR. From Florida here. At any time I can see a guard who loves to cut it from the depths of the championship, I will set it. Clayton fits the bill.
Like Flagg and BROOME, it is semi -final in Naismith. He shoots more than seven triple throws, connecting approximately 38 %. I want to see Clayton, let him fly to Gators.
The four final lukewarm and the national champion
Grave: Saint Jones, Oporn, Jonza Weskonsen. Bruce Pearl and the tigers end up winning their first national title.
Auerbach: Michigan State, Duke, Houston and Florida, with the Blue Devils winning the national championship. Assuming that Flagg is healthy, the best team in the country would be the one that reduces the net.
They call me: Saint Jones, Oporn, Alabama and Clemesson, with the red storm Rick Betino.
