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.
