March Madness Bracket 2017<\/p><\/div>\n

OK, first of all, I like to always pick some huge upsets.\u00a0 They inevitably happen every year.\u00a0 They’re hard to predict, so honestly I just go with my gut and pick a couple top dogs to go down early.\u00a0 Then I look at depth and health of the team.\u00a0 For example, this year Oregon’s Chris Boucher went down with a season-ending ACL tear, I have to take that into consideration.<\/p>\n
