March Madness predictions 2019: Virginia is going to win it all. South Region

First Round

#1 Virginia vs. #16 Gardner-Webb: THIS IS NOT REMOTELY AN EXCITING OK? MOVE ON LET’S JUST NOT TALK ABOUT IT. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Pick: Virginia
#8 Ole Miss vs. #9 Oklahoma: [long pause] Umm, Ole Miss? Pick: Ole Miss
#5 Wisconsin vs. #12 OregonI refuse to pick a Pac-12 team, and Oregon’s best win of the season was against Syracuse to a neutral court. Their defense is great, but the offense is not. That won’t be sufficient to get it done against Wisconsin. Pick: Wisconsin
#4 Kansas State vs. #13 UC Irvine: This really is the awful combo of a sexy double-digit seed meeting a Power 5 school with injuries. The Anteaters beat upon the Big West Conference, winning both the regular season and conference championship titles. K-State will not possess Barry Brown, meaning they will have to make up for his scoring and game direction somewhere. Oh, also UC Irvine has a dude called Max Hazzard. MAX HAZZARD!!! Pick: UC Irvine
#6 Villanova vs. #11 Saint Mary’s: The Wildcats are nowhere close to the team they were last year after they won the championship, but they could still take threes pretty well and shouldn’t have any issues with St. Mary’s. It is going to be close, however. Pick: Villanova
#3 Purdue vs. #14 Old Dominion: LET’S GET CRAZY. Old Dominion over Purdue later Carsen Edwards includes a quiet day, while BJ Stith and Ahmad Caver go OFF. Select: Old Dominion
#7 Cincinnati vs. #10 Iowa: This is the yelling coach sport as Fran McCaffrey and Mick Cronin are known for their. . .fiery characters on the sidelines. Iowa has been leaking every kind of fluid down the stretch and are limping to the championship. Cincinnati takes it at a bodily, gritty game. Select: Cincinnati
#2 Tennessee vs. #15 Colgate: Colgate has about as much of a chance here as an actual tube of toothpaste. The Volunteers are large, physical, and Tennessee moves on easily. Pick: Tennessee
Second Round
#1 Virginia vs. #9 Ole Miss: The Cavaliers are too much on both defense and offense as they’re the only team in the country in the top-5 in both on KenPom. Select: Virginia
#5 Wisconsin vs. #13 UC Irvine: Wisconsin’s outside shooting goes cold and UC Irvine’s run from the postseason continues. Am I only picking this because literally no one wishes to see Virginia-Wisconsin in the Sweet 16? Maybe. Select: UC Irvine
#12 Old Dominion vs. #6 Villanova: Cinderella’s ball is cut brief. Nova shoots ODU out of the gym. Pick: Villanova
#7 Cincinnati vs. #1 Tennessee: CINCY VS TENNY IN COLUMBUS. Ok, fine, I will not call them”Tenny” again. This one is really a brutal battle, but Tennessee squeaks out one late as a result of a large play from Jordan Bone. Pick: Tennessee
Sweet Sixteen
#1 Virginia vs. #13 UC Irvine: The Cavaliers have construction confidence as they cruise to the Elite Eight. De’Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome, and Kyle Guy are too much to the Anteaters, moving them one win away in the promise land. Pick: Virginia
#6 Villanova vs. #2 Tennessee: Another game that I desperately want to see. Finesse vs. braun. Villanova slows down things and gets warm from out as Paschall has a major day at the paint. Pick: Villanova
Elite Eight
#1 Virginia vs. #6 Villanova: Villanova is worn out after a difficult game with Tennesee and can not figure out the Pack Line defense. It is going to be close through the first half, but the Hoos pull away down the stretch. Pick: Virginia
