This is the toughest corner to call. We’ve got three major conference champions between Arizona, Tennessee and Villanova and do not forget about Illinois.

The field thins out after that but look for potential upsets from Michigan or Seton Hall. Michigan has faced a lot of adversity this season and is unfortunately going to be thrown straight into the fire. I would be surprised if they lose in the first round to Colorado State.

Tennessee and Arizona are the favorites in my eyes, and I would love to see the two meet up in the Elite Eight. Both are great all around teams who have proven they belong in the upper echelon. Villanova is always a threat in March but I don’t see them getting past the Vols.

Also, Kofi Cockburn vs Christian Koloko is a matchup we all deserve to see. That game could take enough out of Arizona to let Tennessee come in and sneak into the Final Four.
