#NCAA BRACKETS FOR 2021 MAC#

13 seed Ohio, the MAC champion that nearly took down no. Virginia has a particularly tough first-round matchup: It faces no. The bad news is they probably won’t hold that title for much longer.

The good news for the Hoos is that they’re technically still the reigning national champions. I can’t remember anything like this! Why did the selection committee put Gonzaga in a region with many teams it played earlier-especially during a year when there are no geographic restrictions? Maybe the Hawkeyes, Jayhawks, and Cavaliers learned a lot from those first matchups, but we know the Zags can beat them easily. If they’re unable to play this weekend, they would be replaced by one of the four teams that just missed the cut, each of which has been told to remain on standby.) (It’s also worth mentioning that Kansas and Virginia were the only two teams to make the NCAA tournament after withdrawing from their respective conference tournaments due to positive COVID-19 tests. They rolled Iowa 99-88, they defeated Kansas 102-90, and they dominated Virginia 98-75. 2, 3, and 4 seeds in neutral-site games this season, and beat them all handily. The Bulldogs already have played the West’s no.

I know what you’re going to say next: But Gonzaga plays in a terrible conference! What’s going to happen when it plays top-tier competition in the NCAA tournament? In this case, though, that hypothetical already has been answered, thanks to a truly strange bracket-making decision by the selection committee. They are a juggernaut, and more fun to watch than your average juggernaut. Their high-tempo, incredibly efficient offense made them the first college team in over a decade to average 90-plus points per game. They have one of the best NBA prospects in the country in superstar point guard Jalen Suggs, and another likely lottery pick in shooter extraordinaire Corey Kispert. The Zags went 26-0 this regular season, with 25 double-digit wins. Simply put, this Gonzaga squad is one of the best men’s college basketball teams ever-and it’s been given one of the most unusual draws ever by the NCAA selection committee. Here’s a region-by-region look at the good, bad, and bizarre in this year’s field to help you make sense of it all. How can you possibly win your office bracket pool besides randomly guessing, like the person who somehow wins it every year? Glad you asked. #MarchMadness #FinalFour /dVLtDl5SgB- NCAA Final Four March 14, 2021
