Welcome to the first edition of Bracket Watch for 2018. It’s the third week of January and there are still two months of the regular season remaining before Selection Sunday. Here’s what we know, with certainty:
Villanova is very good.
So are Virginia, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Purdue and Duke.
Trae Young is one of the most fun college basketball players in recent memory.
The real bracket the selection committee puts together won’t look much like the one in this column.
That’s truly about it. We have an idea of how the rest of the season will unfold, but what makes sports so great is that they don’t care about our theories.
