March Madness Survivor Pools from USA TODAY
“Lots of contenders here to make it to New York for the reginal final. Purdue won the Big Ten regular-season and tournament title but now must face the winner of either Memphis or Florida Atlantic. Not an easy task. Duke is also a dangerous team having run through the ACC tournament now that it is healthy. Getting a No. 5 seed, the Blue Devils get to face a struggling Tennessee in the second round if each advance. Kentucky and Providence – two teams previously coached by Rick Pitino – meet in what should be an entertaining opener. Marquette and Kansas State – the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds – both had surprising successes this year and could face off in Sweet 16.”
