Our First-Round Picks For The 2021 NCAA Tournament

Now that we’ve had fun with one bracket, here’s our considered picks. A few notes to keep in mind before everyone’s brackets get blown apart.

  • Covid has really disrupted Virginia. Also, Ohio’s Jason Preston is tough to deal with. Virginia is vulnerable right now.
  • Oklahoma ended the season very poorly. Normally we’d have taken them but not now.
  • We see Creighton as damaged goods emotionally. UCSB is very dangerous as well.
  • We went with Kansas but Covid is potentially disruptive there too, at least in terms of losing its edge.
