NCAA Tournament Bracket Analysis: East Predictions

Over the next several days, we will be providing NCAA Tournament bracket analysis, picking the best games, the dark horses, Cinderella candidates, and more. Want to know what your favorite team has to go through to cut down the nets? Keep it locked here at GetMoreSports.

East Region Predictions

Looking through this bracket, it’s hard not to think about the names, the fan bases, the tradition, and all of the storylines at play. The Tar Heels and their quest to erase all doubt; Kentucky and Indiana, forced to match up should they both win game one, with one of them heading home before the Sweet 16. Even on the bottom half, easily the weakest subsect of any bracket in the tournament, we’ve got the chance of a Notre Dame and Michigan opener, before someone draws the unfortunate pleasure of game planning for Press Virginia on short rest.

With all of that said, we’ve got to make our calls on who advances to the second weekend and who sees their season end without fanfare, fading to black until hopes for next year arise once again.

Watch the video above for our calls.

No. 1 North Carolina (28-6) vs. No. 16 Florida Gulf Coast

No. 8 Southern Cal vs. No. 9 Providence

No. 5 Indiana vs. No. 12 Chattanooga

No. 4 Kentucky vs. No. 13 Stony Brook

No. 3 West Virginia  vs. No. 14 Stephen F. Austin

No. 6 Notre Dame  vs. No. 11 Michigan-Tulsa winner

No. 7 Wisconsin vs. No. 10 Pittsburgh

No. 2 Xavier  vs. No. 15 Weber State
