Matt Youmans: Alabama, Duke, Houston, UCLA
Houston over Duke
A month ago, I determined with conviction that UCLA would be my pick to win it all, but injuries happen and plans change. Unfortunately, the Bruins lost their best defensive player, Jaylen Clark, and they probably lack the depth to win six games in this tournament. I’m pivoting to Houston, which can follow the lead of star guard Marcus Sasser and use lock-down defense to win as the hometown favorite.
