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

First Round

#1 North Carolina vs. #16 Iona: North Carolina and also Coby White easily proceed. Pick: North Carolina
#8 Utah State vs. #9 Washington: [tests notes] Yep, Washington is still Pac-12. Pick: Utah State
#5 Auburn vs. #12 New Mexico State: Auburn is rolling after their SEC tournament name. Chuma Okeke is so much fun, and he directs the Tigers to a win. Pick: Auburn
#4 Kansas vs. #13 Northeastern: Kansas is. . .not good. But, they are far better than Northeastern. Jayhawks proceed. Select: Kansas
#6 Iowa State vs. #11 Ohio State: Ohio State is one of the bizarre groups which you have NO idea who is going to appear. Funny enough, therefore is Iowa State. The Cyclones are coming from a Big-12 title, also Marial Shayok is great. Good enough for me. Select: Iowa State
#3 Houston vs. #14 Georgia State: Houston will roll, but let’s remember when Ron Hunter dropped off of his seat when his son his a match winner. Ron Hunter is good. Houston wins, however. Pick: Houston
#7 Wofford vs. #10 Seton Hall: Wofford is No. 19 on KenPom and obtained a 7-seed. Kansas is No. 20 on KenPom and got a 4-seed. The Terriers got a lousy draw with having to face Seton Hall, a team that finished the season with wins over Villanova and Marquette, but Wofford has a dude named Fletcher Magee who’s a flamethrower out of three. Pick: Wofford
#2 Kentucky vs. #15 Abilene Christian: PJ Washington is allegedly in a walking boot, but that will not be sufficient for Abilene Christian to conquer Kentucky. Select: Kentucky
Second Round
#1 North Carolina vs. #8 Utah State: I love this game. UNC will win it with a late push, but the Aggies will hang out long enough to keep things interesting. Tar Heels move on. Select: North Carolina
#5 Auburn vs. #4 Kansas: Would Auburn shoot well enough to win two in a row? Yeah, probably. Also, Kansas is not excellent. Select: Auburn
#3 Houston vs. #6 Iowa State: Gimme the Cyclones at a late comeback to the win. Freshman Tyrese Haliburton and Sophomore Lindell Wigginton will have to get big games to conquer Houston’s tough defense. Select: Iowa State
#2 Kentucky vs. #7 Wofford: I thought for a lengthy time about my dude Fletcher Magee (can not get over that title ) knocking out Kentucky, however I can not pull the trigger. If this happens, I’ll be so mad (but also ok with it because, Wofford). Pick: Kentucky
Sweet Sixteen
#1 North Carolina vs. #5 Auburn: Auburn runs out of steam and can not keep up with the back and on of North Carolina. Coby White and Cam Johnson go away for the Tar Heels, and Luke Maye gets a double-double. Pick: North Carolina
#2 Kentucky vs. #6 Iowa State: Kentucky’s span and thickness is a lot for the Cyclones. Tyler Herro gets sexy, and Reid Travis is a monster down low. Iowa State puts up a fantastic fight, but falls short in the second half and loses from double-digits. Pick: Kentucky
Elite Eight
#1 North Carolina vs. #2 Kentucky: I understand, more chalk. Kentucky gets revenge on Luke Maye’s match winner out of a couple of years back, moving in the Final Four. Pick: Kentucky
