I’m thoroughly hopped up on first-round March Madness matchups. I need something to take the edge off – some simple predictions, swiped right off my Tournament bracket. Here’s who I have going to the Sweet 16.

EAST

No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 4 Washington State
No. 3 Louisville vs. No. 10 South Alabama

MIDWEST

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 5 Clemson
No. 3 Wisconsin vs. No. 2 Georgetown

SOUTH

No. 1 Memphis vs. No. 4 Pittsburgh
No. 3 Stanford vs. No. 2 Texas

WEST

No. 1 UCLA vs. No. 5 Drake
No. 3 Xavier vs. No. 2 Duke

There are only two picks I’m torn with here: I could have gone with No. 6 Marquette instead of Stanford, and No. 4 UConn instead of Drake. But the Golden Eagles might have their hands full with No. 11 Kentucky, and I think Drake has the upside over the Huskies with that heavenly 20-7-1 ATS record.
