The work of the selection committee is in the books, and it is finally time for the NCAA men's basketball tournament 2025 to get started. After the entire field has finally been determined after an exciting regular season, we are about to see which teams have a date with Cinderella, who is in their brackets shortly before the stage and which coaches have every right to complain about their seeds.
Who will make it from San Francisco to reduce the networks in San Antonio this year? Here is a breakdown of the invited west regional and which could result from the most fascinating part of the bracket.
This looks like the best team Gainesville, Florida, has seen since the national title turning team under Billy Donovan, and you may be one of the betting favorites at this year's tournament at the time of the tournament. Coach Todd Golden clarified after an investigation of title IX at the beginning of the year and finally, and made great adjustments from game to game and has one of the best crimes related to over 80 points in each of her last seven games on the way to a Sec tournament title. They have a variety of senior class men, which they can rely on as important contributors, and the gators can either become small or depending on the matchups, a great flexibility at this time of year.
It was not a great season for the Jayhawks because they started with a few great wins and high expectations, but since then a roller coaster went through conference games to reach number 7 in the west. Your reward if you can call it that the Arkansa's Razorbacks from John Calipari is a below -average season for historical standards and then Rick Pitino and the Big East Champs will be seen in Providence to make it until the second weekend. Then you can call one of the other teams in the upper half of the brackets for No. 16 seeds Norfolk State Spartan as a rather hard draw from border war rivals such as the Missouri Tigers to the reigning back-to-back champions in the Uconn-Huskies or even the Red Hot Florida Gator. The saving grace for Bill Selfs squad is that they probably have to play out of their heads, even to progress so far that there is a series of murder of teams and well -known coaches in a trip to San Antonio.
At the beginning of the season, Niko Medved did not look like he had a tournament team (from 5 to 5), but the RAMs recently turned into one of the hottest groups. They won 10 games in a row and walked through the Mountain West tournament, as if it were nothing that Boise State Broncos had blown out so badly in the title that it may have cost their future PAC-12 rival a place in large dance. They are quite balanced at both ends of the court and have versatile wings such as Nique Clifford and Rashaan Mbemba, which can cause problems for any number of opponents of power that they could see in the end. In the opening round, you have a very profitable game against the AAC champion Memphis Tigers and there will be no way of spending a team from Maryland Terrapins in a potential meeting in the second round. Florida will also not be easy if it can get into the Bay Area, but if it doesn't matter to someone to go up and down with the gators, it may be the very trendy rams.
The D-II drake bulldogs will be an action that continues with people who did not caught the MVC champions during the regular season when a number of Ben McCollum players opened him to make it to the DI-NCAA tournament. Stirtz is the guy who makes everything tick, played the country in a few minutes and fills the statistics sheet in every conceivable way. He has a great group of teammates in Tavion Banks and Isaiah Jackson to get the ball, but Liberty, Mo. Junior, has already played in big games and is not afraid to take control.
The above-mentioned division II-Winkel would make Drakes Matchup a must in the first round, but he rises against Mizzou, since four former players in the state of Northwest Missouri of the state of Northwest Missouri are the largest program of his former state. Both crimes are extremely efficient in different ways (the Bulldogs slow down far down, the tigers like to push). So if you control the pace at this pace, you are the key that contains everyone that contains one that can be attributed to the wire. Dennis Gates has tournament experience and did a great job this season, but he has to be careful before this matchup – especially in the history of Missouris history of upsets for teams, just like Drake in the early rounds.
Obviously, this section would be incomplete without mentioning them Possibilities Of the tournament's matchups in the second round, which are about as juicy as they come. In the lower half they were able to compete in Pitino's St. Johns squad either Bill Self or Calipari in Providence, while the defending champion Uconn Drew Drew Porter Mosers Oklahoma Sooners in the opening round before he could possibly get a very dangerous squad in Florida.
Do not sleep on the Red Raiders from Grant McCasland, which have just check in as Kenpoms No. 7 team and have one of the best crimes when the shots fall. They have been up and down since February, but are completely able to drive to the regional finale in the Chase Center behind JT Toppin and Darrion Williams.
Florida will be a trendy selection to win everything, let alone the West regional. While it will be a long journey to the west coast, this is probably a little less important when you consider how well it played – 12 of its last 13 to win and drop four teams in the top 10 while it was there. The gators have swing to capture the SEC tournament on Sunday and act so many Matchup problems that it will be a shock if you do not go to Texas if the calendar flows to April.
The two teams' movement offenses should hold on to the other, whereby the patented unit of the huskies surrounded a defense in Oklahoma, which had to struggle in the Seco game to defend them.
However, the sooners' offensive should have much success against the huskies, since Jeremiah get the fears of the free -wire line and Connecticut Turnovers stops.
Uconn's offensive was more than able to play on elite all season. The ability to dominate the Bottomer 100 -Defenseive unit from Sooners should lead to numerous opportunities for the huskies, but the team defending the team was a major problem all the season.
Uconn is 3333 in the country in the opponent-Freiwurstrate, while OU occupies 29th place in the country in the charity organization stripe.
