J. Brady McCollough makes his picks for every game in the Sweet 16 and beyond in the NCAA basketball tournament. How will UCLA, Alabama and Houston fare?
I must have momentarily lost my mind when I picked Montana State over Kansas State in round one. I clearly forgot the power of having a clutch lead guard in March, and the Wildcats’ Markquis Nowell was simply breathtaking throughout the opening weekend. Tom Izzo now has three days to prepare the Spartans for Nowell, and the good news for him is that Michigan State has a heady, mentally tough group in the backcourt.
: The Huskies will draw a different Elite Eight opponent — one that could test them more. Gonzaga will attempt to play faster than UConn wants and certainly has more offensive firepower than the Bruins. But the Huskies have the talent and size inside to deal with Timme with Adama Sanogo and Donovan Clingan, plus the better selection of perimeter players. Mark Few has a lot more experience than Danny Hurley on the big stage, so expect a close one. I’ll stick with UConn to the Final Four.
