Unlike much of America right now, Jay Wright’s Final Four picks are still alive going into the Sweet 16.
In a video shared by CBS Sports, the former Villanova head coach shared who his Final Four teams were before the Madness got started and all four programs are still in the running to make it to Glendale.
Wright went with Houston, Purdue, Connecticut and Arizona to battle it out as the last team’s left standing. As did college hoops reporter and colleague Seth Davis who has UConn over the Cougars in the national championship.
Three of the four universities (excluding the Wildcats) are No. 1 seeds and have mostly rolled to the Sweet 16 with huge margins of victory in the first couple rounds (Houston’s battle with Texas A&M notwithstanding).
After some pretty big upsets in the round of 64, the higher-seeded teams all pretty much took care of business in Round 2.
According to USA Today, there are no perfect brackets remaining out of the hundreds of millions that have been entered. That’s including ESPN, CBS, Yahoo and the NCAA’s own bracket challenge.
That just speaks to the unpredictable nature of one of the best events on the sports calendar.
How much of your Final Four is still intact?
