2017 March Madness Bracket Picks – West Region Odds, Predictions and Bracketology Projections: The West Region of the NCAA Tournament Bracket might just be the most diverse in terms of playing styles. There are high-scoring offenses, grinding defenses and even the press-heavy approach of West Virginia. As a result, matchups are going to play a big role in deciding which team emerges from the West Region. In the end, it could be the team who draws the most favorable matchups and not necessarily the most talented team.
NCAA West Bracket Favorites to Make the Final Four
Gonzaga: It is so easy to dismiss the Bulldogs because they play in a smaller conference, but Gonzaga has some big wins to its name. They beat the Pac-12 tournament champion Arizona Wildcats and the Big 12 tournament champion Iowa State Cyclones. They also beat Florida, a team that earned a No. 4 seed. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs ran roughshod over their conference, and they currently rank in the top 15 in scoring and in the top 10 in rebounding and scoring defense. Nigel Williams-Goss and Zach Collins are NBA talents, and this Gonzaga team is no joke.
Arizona: The Wildcats roll into the NCAA Tournament at 30-4, and they don’t have a bad loss on their resume. More importantly, they have two super-talented youngsters leading the way. Sophomore Allonzo Trier has been extra aggressive on the offensive end down the stretch, and freshman big man Lauri Markkanen has an offensive arsenal that has him pegged as a top 10 pick in the NBA Draft. Arizona is always going to give good effort on the defensive end, and if Trier and Markkanen step up, this Wildcats team could get over the hump and into the Final Four.
NCAA West Bracket Upset Specials
Xavier over Maryland: The Terrapins have a decent record, but there is a reason they were only a No. 6 seed. The Big Ten wasn’t that strong this year, and Maryland still managed to drop four of its final six games. Granted, the Musketeers are a banged-up shell of the team that started the year, but Trevon Bluiett can get scorching hot at times. Maryland isn’t good enough to take Xavier lightly, and now the Musketeers have been given new life in March, I think they may take advantage.
Princeton over Notre Dame: Princeton has played the role of Cinderella in March before, and they could do it again this year. The Tigers do a great job at controlling the pace of games, taking smart shots on offense and playing sound defense. In fact, Princeton ranks in the top 10 in the country in scoring defense. Meanwhile, Notre Dame can be a little reliant on the 3-point shot, and the Fighting Irish have already attempted more than 800 shots from deep. If Notre Dame has an off night from deep, Princeton is disciplined enough on both ends of the court to capitalize.
NCAA West Bracket High Seed on Alert
West Virginia: The Mountaineers relentless, press-heavy defense has been effective most of the year, but it has faltered just a bit down the stretch. When West Virginia is forcing turnovers and speeding up opponents into bad shots, the Mountaineers are able to get out in transition and score easy baskets. However, they can have issues scoring when they aren’t forcing turnovers, and they scored 20 points below their season average in four of their final six games. Whether teams have just figured out the press or West Virginia is just a little worn down, Bob Huggins’ bunch looks a little vulnerable at the worst possible time.
