“#March Madness 2021 odds, predictions: Gonzaga will roll<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

I am formally withdrawing my name from consideration for the Indiana job. Next time, play a little hard to get.<\/p>\n

Gonzaga (-13) over Creighton:<\/strong> The Bluejays are fortunate to be here, following Greg McDermott\u2019s racist remark, the team\u2019s nosedive in the Big East Tournament and UC Santa Barbara\u2019s missed game<\/a>-winning layup in the first round. Creighton may no longer be a mid-major \u2014 thanks to the breakup of the Big East \u2014 but undoubtedly falls safely into the category of just being happ<\/a>y to be in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1974, following eight straight losses in the Round of 32. It also knows its best isn\u2019t good enough to beat the best team in the nation. The Zags should have little trouble chalking up their record-26th straight double-digit win.<\/p>\n

Michigan (2.5) over Florida State:<\/strong> The Big Ten is Princess Leia. The Wolverines are Obi-Wan Kenobi, the league\u2019s only hope. But don\u2019t factor too much into the Big Ten\u2019s collapse in a single-elimination tournament designed to cause chaos. You\u2019d still pick Ohio State over Oral Roberts today. You\u2019d still side with Purdue over North Texas. You\u2019d still roll the dice with Illinois against Loyola Chicago. Michigan proved all season to be the best team in the country\u2019s deepest conference and the team\u2019s elite two-way play has hardly diminished with the loss of Isaiah Livers. Either side could win here, but the Wolverines\u2019 high ceiling and greater consistency has earned more trust than a turnover-prone team with a coach (Leonard Hamilton) boasting a 1-3 Sweet 16 record.<\/p>\n

UCLA (+6.5) over Alabama:<\/strong> The Crimson Tide are in a strong position to make their first-ever Final Four, but their shooters could have trouble staying in rhythm against an opponent playing at a snail\u2019s pace. While Alabama has been hot from outside, UCLA\u2019s shooters are even better, hitting 37.4 percent of 3-pointers this season and nearly 43 percent in its three tournament game. The Tide\u2019s transition opportunities will be limited by a Bruins team that averages fewer than 12 turnovers per game and is better on the boards.<\/p>\n

USC (-2) over Oregon:<\/strong> After embarrassing Kansas with a 34-point beatdown in the second round, the Trojans will similarly wear down the Ducks with their elite defense and frontline. In a meeting last month, USC received a subpar performance from potential No. 1 overall pick Evan Mobley and was without his brother, Isaiah, yet still dominated on the glass and easily picked up a 14-point win. Oregon has no answer inside for the brothers, who are averaging a combined 29.5 points, 18.5 rebounds and four blocks in the tournament.<\/p>\n

This season:<\/strong> 22-24
2011-20 record:<\/strong> 261-223-9\n <\/div>\n
