NCAA Tournament 2019: Predicting the perfect March Madness bracket

Filling out your March Madness bracket is a daunting task, so let us do it for you with predictions for the entire 2019 NCAA Tournament.

Picking a March Madness bracket is not an easy task, nor is it even remotely close to that. Year after year, we’re reminded that’s the case, yet we always come back for more, calculating and debating trying to get that pristine set of 67 picks from the First Four to the National Championship. So it will be again in the 2019 NCAA Tournament.

If you’re wondering how hard it is to pick a great NCAA Tournament bracket, 2018’s rendition is a perfect example of that. After the UMBC Retrievers became the first-ever No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the First Round by topping the Virginia Cavaliers, there were no perfect brackets remaining in the country. Furthermore, the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers’ Cinderella run to the Final Four left just 550 brackets on ESPN with the correct four picks.

Will we have another 16-over-1 upset? Will another 11-seed go all the way through to the Final Four in Minneapolis? It’s impossible to say what parts of history are going to replicate themselves in March Madness, but you can count on the fact that, in a year where the biggest name in college basketball (Zion Williamson) got injured minorly by literally being too big and athletic for his shoes, things could get wild.

Entering the 2019 NCAA Tournament, for those who don’t know, it’s the Duke Blue Devils, Virginia Cavaliers, North Carolina Tar Heels and Gonzaga Bulldogs as the four No. 1 seeds for March Madness. Having said that, we’ll begin with the First Four from Dayton, OH that features two matchups between 11-seeds and two matchups between 16-seeds.

Those First Four games are where we’ll start as well. Though it may be thankless and futile to attempt to pick a perfect March Madness bracket, we’re going to try it anyway. So let’s do just that and predict every game in the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
