Seth Davis of The Athletic has released his bracket predection and as you could probably guess he has Duke in the Championship Game.
He also has Kentucky beating North Carolina, then Purdue in the Final Four, and eventually losing to Duke in the title game.
I picked Kentucky to beat North Carolina in the regional final. Why? Because I believe they are going to play, and I’m pretty sure one team has to win. I wouldn’t want to draw too many conclusions about the first meeting in Chicago back in December, but I can’t help but recall the way the defensive ability of UK freshman Ashton Hagans was the determining factor in that game.
