March Madness is happening, and that means it’s time for everyone to send in their wild predictions over who’s going to win it all this year. In this article, we’re going to analyze the predictions given by a handful of basketball experts at Yahoo Sports. Interestingly enough, there was an overwhelming consensus regarding who most of them felt would win it all: Gonzaga.

Krysten Peek predicted that Gonzaga would win the championship over Arkansas, and Pete Thamel had the same opinion. Dan Wetzel concurred that Gonzaga would be victorious, but disagreed about who’d they be beating. Unlike Peek and Thamel, he predicted that Gonzaga would beat West Virginia.

Then there was an overwhelmingly large agreement over one particular matchup. Gonzaga vs. Illinois. Yahoo experts Henry Bushnell, Frank Schwab, Jason Owens, and Nick Bromberg all believed that Gonzaga would ultimately square off against the Fighting Illini, but out of those four, only one believed that Illinois would win.

Bushnell, Owens, and Bromberg all predicted that Gonzaga would beat Illinois, but Schwab was willing to roll the dice and disagree. By predicting that Illinois would beat Gonzaga, he was actually the only expert out of them all who picked a winner that wasn’t Gonzaga.

We understand that Gonzaga is a powerhouse, but March Madness is known for upset stories. Only time will tell how these predictions will hold over.

After winning the Associated Press and Oscar Robertson college player of the year award, Jalen Brunson has received another fantastic honor. Villanova guard won the Naismith Trophy for College Basketball Player of the Year.

He became the 50th player in history to receive this awards. Before him, we saw many players getting this title, including Bill Walton, Patrick Ewing, Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant and of course, the greatest of all times, Michael Jordan.

His rivals were Deandre Ayton from Arizona, Devonte Graham from Kansas and Marvin Bagley III from Duke.

“This is a great honor to be among the greats that have won the Naismith Trophy,” said Brunson to Villanova.com. β€œIt’s a credit to my family, which has sacrificed a lot, and my teammates and coaches, who have helped me become the confident player I am. I’m really thankful that I get to do this with a group of guys I love. It’s all a credit to them.”

The New Jersey-born has been outstanding this season averaging 19.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 39 games played for his Wildcats. Without a doubt, he has been the leader of this team, which reached the finals of this year’s March Madness. They will be facing Michigan Wolverines this Monday, in Alamodome, and Brunson will be chasing his second NCAA championship because he already has one, won in 2016, when his team defeated North Carolina in one epic match.

He is also a candidate for clinching the fourth Player of the year awards, Wooden trophy. That one is going to be announced on Friday, April the 6th.
