"For the past three decades or so, I've printed out a blank bracket on Selection Sunday to fill out as the NCAA tournament is announced. I used to hem and haw over my selections for days, and it never worked out, so now we're taking tinkering out of the process and revealing my bracket picks ... instantly."
"The subplots in the East are wildly intriguing -- and it doesn't take long to get rolling. There's a potential second-round coaching matchup between Rick Pitino and Bill Self. What will Pitino have up his sleeve to slow down Darryn Peterson? There's a potential second-round sideline spectacle between Dan Hurley and Mick Cronin."
"I'm going with St. John's over Kansas in the second. The Red Storm had a case to be seeded ahead of Kansas after winning both the Big East regular-season and conference tournament championships, and they seem to have put the UConn blowout loss deep in the rearview mirror."
The predictor has adopted a new approach to filling out their NCAA tournament bracket after three decades of deliberation. Rather than spending days agonizing over selections, they now complete their bracket instantly as teams are announced, eliminating second-guessing and tinkering. The East Region features compelling storylines including potential coaching matchups between Rick Pitino and Bill Self, and Dan Hurley and Mick Cronin. Notable point guards populate the region including UConn's Silas Demary Jr., Michigan State's Jeremy Fears Jr., UCLA's Donovan Dent, and Louisville's Mikel Brown Jr. The predictor anticipates first-round matchups following seeding but predicts St. John's will upset Kansas in the second round, setting up a Duke versus St. John's Sweet 16 matchup.
