Is this Gonzaga’s year? Which double-digit seed can make noise? donnovanbennett shares some advice on how to fill out your MarchMadness bracket:
Don’t overthink it. The No. 1 seeds are ranked that way for a reason. Since seeding began in 1979, 22 of the eventual champions were one seeds. That includes 10 of the last 14. Two seeds have won the tournament seven times, three seeds have won it five times and a four seed has won it only once. Teams seeded five or higher have won the tournament a combined five times.What No. 1 could beat Duke you ask? Don’t sleep on Gonzaga. The Zags are the only team to beat Duke at full strength.
In six of their last eight trips, the Wildcats have gone to the Elite 8 or better.If you want to pencil in the reigning national champion, just remember that Villanova lost four players in the 2018 NBA draft. This season, they fell out of the AP poll for the first time since 2013 after a loss to Furman. Then Villanova won the Big East regular season and tournament championship.
