Now that the 2019 NCAA Tournament bracket has been revealed, make your predictions and share your views here.
I think the four #1 seeds (Duke, Virginia, UNC, Gonzaga) were pretty obvious choices. I DID like how many non Power 6 conference at-large selections there were this year, in a year where many expected that number to be low.
And I am EXTREMELY pumped for Thursday's real start to the tournament (with some interest in Tuesday and Wednesday).

I pretty much agree with you on the most things, but I don't really care too much about the play-in games. I got Duke winning it all unfortunately since I'm a tar heel fan. Should be good though. I'm much more pumped this year than last year's tournament.
I think Michigan State had a very real argument for a number one seed and deserved one over Virginia or Gonzaga, maybe even North Carolina. I've honestly just always been a bit iffy when non conference tourney champs get a one seed. Three number one seeds from the same conference just seems wrong, no matter how strong the ACC traditionally is in basketball.
I think Murray State has a real chance to beat Marquette in the opening round, and I picked Florida over Nevada. Florida has been a weird team this year, they would beat a top tier SEC team one night then turn around in a few days and lose to a mid tier team by 20, so they will either pull off the 7-10 upset or lose by 30. I wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo make a Sweet 16 run, their likely second round match against Texas Tech should be one of the best game of the tournament. I also think 6th seed Iowa St is the favorite in the likely match with 3 seed Houston in the second round. Houston beat up a lot of bad teams but looked pedestrian against tournament teams.
The upset I want to see happen is 7 seed Wofford over 2 seed UK in round two, but Calipari teams tend to really gel come tournament time so it seems like their Cinderella season will be over at that point.
With none of my big rooting interests in this year, Texas and Indiana, I'd like to see a decent run by Louisville and a Big Ten team taking home the title. I think Michigan State is the best shot at that, but Purdue could surprise people.

It's not been too bad of a tournament so far. Hoping today's games will be exciting.
I think Murray State has a real chance to beat Marquette in the opening round, and I picked Florida over Nevada. Good call.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo make a Sweet 16 run, their likely second round match against Texas Tech should be one of the best game of the tournament.Looking forward to that myself.
The upset I want to see happen is 7 seed Wofford over 2 seed UK in round twoI think Wofford is fun to watch.

Wofford should've won.
