The NCAA Tournament is back tonight, and if you didn’t have Villanova or Duke chances are your bracket still has some fight left in it. Our Rocky Top Talk pool has six players who went 38-10 or 39-9 in the first two rounds, which really isn’t bad if you consider the absence of the upsets most of us work into our picks.
Two of seven Tennessee opponents still standing are in action tonight, with all three SEC teams playing tomorrow. Could we see a Final Four of all Tennessee opponents? One seeds North Carolina and Gonzaga are still alive, as are Kentucky (2), Oregon (3), and Florida (4). You don’t have to get nuts with South Carolina or Wisconsin for it to happen, a testament to a strength of schedule that is now 17th nationally and rising in the still-updating KenPom.
Here’s the full schedule for the next two nights:
