Mike Spector's bracket
In many ways, we are going against the trends of many recent NCAA Tournaments. A No. 1 seed has won the last five national championships, a No. 2 seed has not reached the national championship game since 2016, and six of the previous eight national champions have been at-large teams.
However, the narrative that the Longhorns are not national title contenders under interim head coach Rodney Terry can be put to bed after Texas won the Big 12 Tournament. The Longhorns have the experience (seventh-oldest team in the country) as well as the balance and depth both offensively and defensively. Texas ranks in the top 18 in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency metric and will be able to navigate a tough field and cut down the nets in Houston. - Spector
Phil Wood's bracket
VCUand Kent State will be the surprises of the first round, while FAU in the Sweet16 will be the storyline of the tournament. Miami and Duke will each make theElite Eight thanks to favorable matchups, but neither will make the Final Four.
Alabama will earn a spot in the Final Four thanks to an easy path through its region, then advance to the championship game after beating a Marquette teamthat survived a very tough East Region. In the West, a UCLA and Gonzaga final won'thappen, because TCU is going to take care of the Bulldogs in a second-round March Madness upset.
While many believethat Kansas vs. UConn will determine who goes to the Final Four, there is noreason to sleep on an experienced and incredibly talented UCLA team even if it is without Jaylen Clark. UCLA will survive but lose to Texas in the Final Four. The Longhorns will continue their hot play fromthe Big 12 Tournament and cut down the nets on April 3. - Wood
Shane Jackson's bracket
In ayear as wide open as ever, I'm picking a chalky final between Alabama andHouston. The key to winning your bracket pool might just be making sense of theEast and West regions or fading Alabama entirely. I chose to do the former inthis case, but I do believe the Cougars are cutting down the nets inHouston in April. That's about the only March Madness prediction I'm confident in headinginto this tourney. - Jackson
Brenden Schaeffer's bracket
Duke against Oral Roberts is the toughest time I've ever had choosing a side in a first-round game—I like the winner to reach the Final Four out of the East Region (+750/+6000). With both Xavier and Iowa State susceptible to dud performances, I like the Mississippi State-Pitt play-in winner to the Sweet 16 in the Midwest (+950/+1800).
I have the tournament's top overall seed, Alabama, advancing to the National Championship Game despite the off-court issues facing the Tide. Texas can knock them off, though, fitting the historical March Madness betting trend as a top-20 team in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiencies. - Schaeffer
