Seems like a decent bracket with the exception of Duke on the 1 line over Gonzaga. I'm curious as to what leads you to that conclusion? Duke lost at home to Stephen F Austin while Gonzaga has lost only once to Michigan on a neutral site. I would think those two would be flip flopped, but otherwise I can't quibble too much.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really close call for me, but the fact that Duke's schedule is top 10 in the country while Gonzaga's is the weakest of any of the top 20 teams was the deciding factor. SFA wasn't a great loss for Duke, but at least they are a likely tournament team. I went back and forth on these two teams for quite a while.
