Quick Notes & Storylines
- Palmetto Bracket Heat: Clemson hosts a grudge match against West Virginia (WVU leads the series 5-1, including a 2007 NIT Final upset). Georgia-Xavier rematch adds SEC-Big East spice (Xavier up 3-2 historically). Fringe Top-25 teams like Georgia and Xavier are hunting signature wins.
- Lowcountry Bracket Intrigue: Davidson returns for its fifth appearance (tying Clemson’s record), facing Boston College in their second all-time meeting. Utah State-Tulane is a rare clash (first in 51 years; Aggies lead 2-1). Expect mid-major upsets from Tulane or Davidson to shake early Bracketology.
- Overall, this dual-bracket format amps up the chaos, but is great to maximize basketball value over shorter tournaments. Tune in on ESPN networks for all the action. If you want to get a head start on your bracketology, we have the blank printable March Madness bracket up for you here.
