What a week! The picture for the NCAA tournament has gotten much clearer. Not many upsets. Not yet anyway. There are still 2 matches remaining for Sunday. Here is the update through Saturday night. We also take a shot at what the final seeds by region will be. Just another wild prediction from the crew. Take it for what it’s worth.
InsideHitter.com did out-predict the seed selections in the conference tournaments and will end with a better record having picked 4 upsets where lower seeds beat higher seeds. IH is 55-6 for the tourney this far. Higher seeds beat lower seeds 54 times so far.
Here is the latest scenario for the NCAA tournament. It’s a prediction, not a final version.

19 teams. Not 20. 19? And one region doesn’t have a fifth team? Did someone come up with this “formula” on a bar napkin? Only five At Large teams…knowing full well two power independents are automatically in those spots, that leaves only three spots. If basketball did this, there would be only ten added to a field of 31 auto bids.
