Welcome to the first 2018-19 installment of Giant Killers, ESPN.com's venerable vertical that has been fearlessly forecasting NCAA tournament upsets since the days when people still used rebound margin and the RPI.
What's that you say? It's far too early to be forecasting upsets for the 2019 tournament? We here at GK HQ refuse to listen to such radical talk.
November is the ideal time to see the big picture. Sure, we don't know the bracket yet, but the essentials are more or less the same annually. Giant Killers are exceptionally good teams from (often, but not always) outside the major conferences.
