We should see some upsets in the South Region, especially with No. 2 Villanova looking shaky, Purdue playing without star Robbie Hummel, and No. 6 Notre Dame lucky to be in the tournament after a late-season push. Villanova will survive NCAA Tournament Bracket First Round South Picks; the other two won’t be so lucky. Predicted winners in bold:

1 Duke vs. 16 Winthrop or Arkansas-Pine Bluff (play-in winner)

8 California vs. 9 Louisville

5 Texas A&M vs. 12 Utah State

4 Purdue vs. 13 Siena

6 Notre Dame vs. 11 Old Dominion

3 Baylor vs. 14 Sam Houston State

7 Richmond vs. 10 St. Mary’s
