The NCAA tournament is halfway over. Weaker teams have been eliminated, the hometown favorite University of Kansas joining them.

KU fan and senior Avalon Cook believed that the college on the hill would be winning the championship this year.

“They’re gonna win it all this year. The Morris twins are awesome, the chemistry’s really good and after all the stuff that’s happened to them, they’ve really drawn together as a team,” Cook said. Unfortunatly, KU didnt live up to expectations.

Junior Kyle Hall believed otherwise on KU’s odds of winning.

“I think Duke may be able to get there; KU, I’m not really rooting for them.” Hall said before the tournament began.

However this prediction was made before Duke was defeated by Arizona 93 to 77.

Many basketball fans approve of the new bracket, including the addition of four new team slots.

“It will be more of a challenge. It’s four new opponents that could potentially win, some years, those lesser schools do win, so it will be tougher but it might be some easier first rounds for the number one seats,” sophomore Ben Soukup said before the tournament began.
The four new teams were picked using a new first round called the first four.
“It adds a little more legitimacy to the four teams rather than sort of like throwing them in there and having the other teams dominate them,” Cook adds.

According to teamranking.com, Ohio State had the highest probability of winning the championship this year with a 22.42% chance. They were wrong.

Final Four games will be played April 2nd through the 4th at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. Make sure to tune in and watch your favorite teams doing there best.
