The rundown

Tipping-off the tournament as a whole on Friday, Florida and Virginia Tech will be on the desk computer monitors of many college basketball fans hard at work.

To this point, not one person has been able to overcome the daunting take of predicting how the tournament will shake out, but in 2019, Greg Niegl predicted the first 49 games before finally falling in the Sweet 16 when the Carsen Edwards led Purdue Boilermakers took down Tennessee in overtime.

With the influx of entry into various bracket websites with hopes of submitting the first-ever perfect bracket, the attention paid to the unpredictable early-round games will culminate in the early action between headlining acts of Florida guard Tre Mann and Virginia Tech forward Keve Aluma.

With each squad looking to continue what has been a tumultuous season, the stage is set for battle in the South region.
