The longtime ESPN college basketball analyst picked who he believes will cut down the nets.
An annual tradition on Selection Sunday is seeing who some of the top college basketball analysts have in their brackets both in the Final Four and national championship.
One of the highlights of this time of year is seeing the bracket of the always enthusiastic Dick Vitale, who continues to prove that age is just a number.
Vitale made his picks in his bracket, as he selected No. 1 Alabama to make the Final Four out of the South region, No. 5 Duke out of the East region, No.

The analyst chose what appears to be an unlikely choice for the 2023 champion.
Shortly after the full March Madness men’s bracket was released on Sunday, various college basketball experts made their projected picks for this year’s tournament.
ESPN’s Jay Bilas came out strong and chose an unlikely champion for the 2023 NCAA tournament. Bilas, who is a Duke alum, chose the No. 5 Blue Devils to be the national runners-up. Then, he picked No. 4 UConn as the 2023 national champions.
Bilas wasn’t the only ESPN analyst to put UConn in his Final Four.

The NCAA tourney bracket is out and it’s time to nitpick. The committee goofed with Kansas and Texas A&M’s Buzz Williams has a right to be miffed once again.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen brought back a fan-favorite for newly signed quarterback Daniel Jones.
While he’s not an elite pass-catcher that could boost Jones’ production to match his new contract, Giants fans are glad to have this player back.
