My 2024 NCAA Tourney Picks (Round of 8)

My 2024 NCAA Tourney Picks (Round of 8)

Well we now have our 8 teams as they battle for the right to keep dancing to the Final Four. This is what we have left 2 Big Ten teams (Purdue and Illinois), 3 ACC teams (Duke, Clemson, and North Carolina State), 2 SEC teams (Alabama and Tennessee) and 1 Big East team in Connecticut who happens to be the defending champion from last season. This tournament so far has been both amazing and astonishing, especially with the unexpected upsets in every round so far. The play in this tournament I would consider the best in a long time. I would expect nothing less the rest of the way. So here is my latest version of my tourney picks:

Saturday’s Action: (All games on TBS)

Connecticut over Illinois

Alabama over Clemson

Sunday’s Action: (All games on CBS TV)

Tennessee over Purdue

Duke over North Carolina State

There you have it my picks are up, and I cant wait for the Final Four next weekend. However, lets get through this weekend first. Enjoy the games and Happy Easter to you.

My 2024 NCAA Tourney Picks (Round of 16)

As we now move further along in the NCAA Tournament, there is only 16 left compare to the 68 teams that started this tournament. Yes there have been a slew of upsets that we did not see coming at all. However, this is why March Madness is great every year. But it is not over yet, we still have about 4 more rounds to go to crown a champion. So we are not done yet, but I do not have to worry since I did not do a bracket this year.

Well we have reach the time of the year that is just about everyone’s favorite. Time to fill the many brackets that you will do. Yes it is a time to go crazy if your team did not make it.

Before I give my picks, I will warn you now. Do not use my picks for your bracket, these games are going to be unpredictable the entire tournament. From close games, the buzzer beaters, and the blowouts (rare cases). So with that said here are my picks:

Tuesday’s Action: (All games on truTV)

Howard over Wagner (For the 16th Seed)

Colorado State over Virginia (For the 10th Seed)

Wednesday’s Action: (All games on truTV)
