Today, we start our Game Sim predictions with the Midwest and West regions. Tomorrow, I'll post the East and South regions and on Wednesday, I'll post the final four results. Make sure to check the #GameSimKnowsAll hashtag on twitter for all Game Sim related information.
Midwest
Notes
- The round 1 winner to face Memphis was Saint Mary's over Middle Tennessee.
- The round 1 winner that got to face Louisville was Liberty.
- Saint Mary's over Memphis was the only predicted upset in this bracket.
- Other close first round matchups included Cincinnati vs Creighton and Missouri vs Colorado State.
- Duke and Louisville were never really challenged in a close game prior to their meeting in the final eight. Check back on Wednesday to see who advanced to the final four.
West Region
Notes
- Boise State was the round 1 winner that earned the right to play Kansas State
- Once again the round 1 winner advances with an upset, and we go chalk everywhere else.
- The Arizona/Belmont matchup was as close as could be though, separated by less than a point in predicted score. Likewiise, Wichita State/Pitt was a very close matchup. Both of those matchups could go either way.
- Gonzaga is upset in the sweet 16 by Wisconsin. This again was separated by the smallest of margins but Game Sim leaned toward Wisconsin.
- New Mexico upsets Ohio State in the sweet 16, as well, leading to a final eight matchup between New Mexico and Wisconsin. Check out Wednesday's predictions to find out who advanced to the final four.
