Top 2021 March Madness bracket picks
One team set to disrupt 2021 March Madness brackets: No. 14 Colgate knocks off No. 3 Arkansas in the South Region. The Raiders played a conference-only schedule, but went 14-1 with their lone defeat coming by just two points.
Colgate's top three scorers are all seniors, and they've been in this position before. In the 2019 NCAA Tournament, No. 15 Colgate held a second-half lead over No. 2 Tennessee before the Vols pulled away. Guard Jordan Burns scored 32 points in that game, and now as a senior, he leads Colgate with 17 points per game and paced the Patriot League in assists. Arkansas struggled against dynamic playmakers like Missouri's Xavier Pinson and LSU's Javonte Smart, which is why the model likes the Raiders over the Razorbacks in the 2021 March Madness bracket.
Another team to back in your 2021 NCAA Tournament picks: No. 4 Purdue survives an upset bid from No. 13 North Texas. The latter made a surprising run through the Conference USA Tournament to punch its ticket to the Big Dance, but the Mean Green also lost their final three games of the regular season. They're offensively-challenged, averaging only 69.8 points per game and scoring 61 or fewer points in their last three matchups.
The Boilermakers, meanwhile, were battle-tested in the Big Ten. They have an outstanding big man in Trevion Williams, who is coming off a monster 26-point, 14-rebound performance against Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament. Zach Edey, a 7-foot-4 freshman, should also help keep the Mean Green from getting easy buckets. There's been at least one 13 vs. 4 upset in three of the past four tournaments, but SportsLine's model has Purdue advancing against 60 percent of the time, making the Boilermakers one of the chalk plays to make with your NCAA bracket picks 2021.
