6. How many double-digit seeds will make it to the Sweet 16, and which is your favorite?
Chantel: I have four in my bracket: Florida Gulf Coast, IUPUI, South Dakota and DePaul. IUPUI could catch some opponents off guard because it’s a less well-known mid-major but the team’s leader — four-time Horizon Player of the Year Macee Williams — could turn heads. Oklahoma, the Jaguars’ first-round opponent, gives up 76 points per game, and I like Williams’ odds in that game (if you remember, Kansas State’s Ayoka Lee already scored 61 points alone on the Sooners earlier this season). And Notre Dame, their second-round opponent, has a few key young players (Olivia Miles, Maddy Westbeld, Sonia Citron) competing against a more-veteran IUPUI squad.

SOUTH
1. Arizona vs. 16. Wright State
Arizona (31-3, 18-2 Pac-12)
Arizona won the Pac-12 tournament, but point guard Kerr Kriisa sprained his ankle in the quarterfinals. His status is a big question for one of the fastest tempo teams in the country that leads the nation with nearly 20 assists per game.
The over is 8-1 in the last nine Arizona games and a healthy Wildcats team usually gets high totals. Arizona won and covered in both games Kriisa missed after the injury.
Wright State (21-13, 15-7 Horizon)
The Raiders didn’t look like a possible NCAA Tournament team after they started 1-5 and 2-7. However, immediately after that they rattled off seven straight wins after that and enter the NCAA Tournament on a five-game winning streak. The over is 6-2 in Wright State’s last eight games.

No. 1 Arizona (-22.5) vs. No. 16 Wright State, 7:27 p.m., truTV. The Wildcats are my choice to win the national championship, and though the ankle injury sustained by their starting point guard, 6-3 sophomore Kerr Kriisa, is a concern, this team is plenty capable of doing damage without him in the lineup. Kriisa is a valuable leader, but he’s also a volatile one, and when he’s not on the floor the ball spends more time in the hands of their All-American guard Bennedict Mathurin. The Raiders showed good poise Wednesday night in beating Bryant, 93-82. The team’s leading scorer, 6-6 lefty Tanner Holden, was sensational in scoring 37 points, but 14 of those came on free throws, and he won’t get those types of chances in this one. Moreover, Wright State has the shortest bench of any team in the NCAA Tournament, and Arizona has a way of getting opponents in foul trouble. Throw in the Wildcats’ ability to turn this into a track meet, and they cover this spread with room to spare. The pick: Arizona

24. (1) Arizona vs. (16) Wright State/Bryant
Friday | 7:27 p.m. | truTV
Wright State plays fast and scores a lot. Arizona plays faster and scores more. The Raiders won at NC State earlier this season, which should get Arizona's attention. Keeping up with the Wildcats won't be plausible for Wright State in the end, though, since it gets most of its points inside the arc and Arizona's size will make life hard. Bryant's Peter Kiss is a fun player, but the Bulldogs' 111-44 loss to Houston earlier this season -- yes that score is correct -- suggests they would be ill-equipped to handle the Wildcats. If Houston, which plays at a slow pace, scored 111 on Bryant, just think what Arizona could do. The subplot of this game is how Arizona looks assuming that Kerr Kriisa is out due to the ankle injury he suffered in the Pac-12 Tournament. That injury is a big storyline hanging over the Wildcats entering the tournament.
