This is the annual story to tell you how to win your office NCAA tournament pool. We will begin with one important caveat. Logic will not apply this year.
Don’t pretend otherwise. Nobody knows who will handle this quasi-bubble situation in Indianapolis well. Nobody knows which team will see its hopes dashed by a test result.
Nobody knows, well, anything. Georgetown was picked last in the Big East. The Hoyas won the Big East tournament. Oregon State was picked last in the Pac-12.
The Beavers won the Pac-12 tournament. Duke was ranked No. 6 in the country at the end of November and Michigan was unranked.
