Game Sim's NCAA Tournament Prediction Schedule

  • Monday: 1 PM - South and West Regions

  • Tuesday: 1 PM - East and Midwest Regions

  • Wednesday: 1 PM - Final Four and National Champion

 

 

 

East

Notes

  • Game Sim is expecting those Indiana/Kentucky and UNC/Kentucky matchups to happen.  Kentucky handled Indiana comfortably but wasn't able to get past UNC, despite an expected close game.
  • One surprising thing from this bracket was Pitt advancing to the Sweet 16. 
  • Even though Notre Dame advanced most of the time, a game against Michigan may be an upset possibilty.
  • No surprise given its an 8/9 matchup, but USC/Providence was another very close first round matchup that could go either way.

 

Midwest

Notes

  • Like the West region, this is another region that a few different teams have an opportunity to advance in.  Virginia and Michigan State made it through more than most, but the Spartans advanced most often.
  • Game Sim likes the Zags to bring back some of their old magic and upset Seton Hall in the first round.
  • Dayton/Syracuse could go either way, but Game Sim had the Orange more often than not.
  • Even though it has Iowa State falling to Purdue, it was a very close game and one that could go either way.
