NCAA Bracket Prediction - Final

After Georgetown won the Big East and Oregon State won the Pac 12 yesterday, two at-large spots disappeared, which took Wichita State and Colorado State out of the field to make room. It appears that Houston will keep Cincinnati from doing the same thing in the American Conference, which will allow the other bubble teams to breathe a little. Here is my final bracket prediction for 2021:

	WEST			MIDWEST
1	Gonzaga		1	Illinois
16	Mt. St. Mary’s/Appalachian St.		16	Norfolk State/Texas Southern
8	North Carolina		8	Clemson
9	St. Bonaventure		9	Oklahoma
5	Villanova		5	USC
12	Winthrop		12	Georgetown
4	Purdue		4	Tennessee
13	North Texas		13	Abilene Christian

11	Louisville/Utah State		11	UCLA
