NCAA Tournament Bracket Breakdown, Best Bets and Upset Picks

March Madness is officially upon us! Rather than waste your time talking about Drew Brees' retirement announcement or the tension that seems to boiling over inside the Los Angeles Clippers' locker room, Jason brings in Jason Lisk from TeamRankings.com for wall-to-wall conversation on the NCAA Tournament. Lisk explains why Georgetown appears to be the best bet for the annual 12-5 upset this year, why he feels Villanova is seeded relatively high (5) strictly based on reputation, why he wouldn't be too shocked to see the 11-seed Utah State team upset the 5-seed Texas Tech, why he views the 1-seed Michigan Wolverines as a big risk given their current injury issues, why the East region is easily the most balanced region in the bracket and why LSU and UCONN are sneaky Cinderella teams if you're playing in a large bracket challenge pool, why he likes Michigan State to beat UCLA in the play-in game - even though neither team is all that good, why he's not nearly as high on the Texas Longhorns as McIntyre is, why the top-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs are the 1-seed most likely to reach the Final Four, why he's so intrigued by the 8-9 matchup between Wisconsin and North Carolina, why he's not betting on Cade Cunningham being able to carry 4-seed Oklahoma State deep into the tournament given how tough their region is, why he has the 1-seed Illinois as the second favorite overall behind Gonzaga, and much more!
