Unfortunately you went way to far out on a limb with your American pick as you knocked out the actual winning team in the East in the first round. Villanova should walk into the sweet 16 playing two home games. From there they will beat Duke then Pitt to win the East bracket.
Here are my predictions…send me my free pick!!! 🙂
#1 Pittsburgh vs. #16 E. Tennessee St., Pick is PITTSBURGH
#8 Oklahoma State vs. #9 Tennessee, Pick is TENNESSEE
#5 Florida State vs. #12 Wisconsin, Pick is FLORIDA STATE
#4 Xavier vs. #13 Portland State, Pick is XAVIER
#6 UCLA vs. #11 VCU, Pick is UCLA
#3 Villanova vs. #14 American, Pick is VILLANOVA
#7 Texas vs. #10 Minnesota, Pick is TEXAS
#2 Duke vs. #15 Binghamton, Pick is DUKE
