Three Point Range

First Round 1. Virginia vs 16. Gardner-Webb This game will be watched for one big reason: Gardner-Webb beat two ACC teams this season, and are looking to add a third. But for real, Virginia of course lost to UMBC in the 1-16 matchup last year, and they'll be looking to not repeat that this season, and I think they will be coming out very strong. I have been saying for most of the season that I think Virginia is going to beat the 16 seed they play by about 50 points, and they seem like they are going to come out firing.

Give me the Cavaliers all day long. My Pick:  Virginia Confidence:  99% Gambling:  Virginia -22 8. Mississippi vs 9.

It really has overshadowed teams like St. Mary's and San Francisco, and even teams much further down the totem pole like Pepperdine who have really improved. Still, the Zags ran through this league, going undefeated and none of their games finished within single digits in conference play. It's unfortunate that this tournament seems sort of inevitable as I think there are some really good teams that could make noise in March, but likely won't get the chance. Still, if someone can slay the giant that is Mark Few's team, it would be...
