2017 NCAA Bracket Picks & Predictions – East Region Odds, Predictions & Bracketology Projections: The East Region of the NCAA Tournament Bracket is home to the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed, the Villanova Wildcats, and the defending champs were rewarded with arguably the friendliest of the four regions. Yes, Duke is lurking in the bottom half of the region, but overall, there aren’t many powerhouse programs or teams that jump out as legit Final Four threats. The East Region could still play host to some upsets, but I don’t expect the top teams to be the victims.
2017 NCAA Bracket Picks & Predictions: East Region Odds, Predictions & Bracketology Projections
NCAA East Bracket Favorites to Make the Final Four
Villanova: The defending national champs have back-to-back titles on their minds after claiming the Big East regular season and tournament crowns and claiming the No. 1 overall seed. Guard Josh Hart is as clutch as they come, and the Wildcats have a solid offense backing a stout defense. When you put one of the most experience, most complete teams in the country in a very manageable region, a Final Four run is a real possibility.
Duke: It has been a rollercoaster year for the Blue Devils, but they appear to be catching fire at the right time. They grabbed the No. 2 seed after winning the ACC tournament, and all the talented pieces on Duke’s roster are starting to come together. Grayson Allen found a rhythm in the conference tournament, and five-star freshman Jayson Tatum has become a start. The Blue Devils have as much firepower as any team in the country, and they are starting to play up to their potential.
NCAA East Bracket Upset Specials
Marquette over South Carolina: This game will be a clash of styles, but I think the Gamecocks are at a decided disadvantage. South Carolina is a defensive-minded team, and they rely almost exclusively on guard Sindarius Thornwell to power an offensive that ranks 201st in scoring. However, Thornwell has been struggling with his outside shot of late, and the Gamecocks have lost five of their last seven. South Carolina could have issues keeping up with a Marquette team ranked in the top 20 scoring, especially since the Golden Eagles have topped 90 points in three of their last five.
UNC Wilmington over Virginia: This has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for the Cavaliers. Everyone knows Virginia has a stifling defense, but there are times when the Cavaliers are downright pitiful on offense, and they rank 312th in the nation in scoring. Enter a UNC Wilmington team that wants a high-scoring, fast-paced game. The Seahawks rank 10th in the country in scoring at 85.2 points per game, and they have four players who are averaging as many or more points than Virginia’s top scorer. UNC Wilmington has four players who can knock down shots from deep, and if the Seahawks shoot it well, the Cavaliers might not be able to keep pace.
NCAA East Bracket High Seed on Alert
Baylor: At one point this season, Baylor looked poised to end Kansas’ stranglehold on the Big 12 regular season crown. However, the Bears struggled down the stretch, dropping four of their final seven games. Yes, Baylor can dominate opponents physically, especially on defense, but the Bears don’t have a go-to scorer. Come crunch time, this team doesn’t have someone who can create their own shot, and rough offensive stretches have gotten the Bears in trouble all year. Baylor does have some big wins in and out of conference, but the inconsistent offense isn’t going way. Throw in the Bears’ recent history of early tournament exits, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Baylor’s stay in the tournament to be a short one.
