These are predictions, not necessarily what I would do personally. Let’s see how I do. This is my bracket 👍🏻

Well for anyone still awake, looks like UConn is going to hold on and advance. Here are my predictions for tomorrow's Second Round games

But I thought they are "student athletes." Do we not care about student athlete welfare or simply TV ratings?

@RefObserver17 I am almost certain they will put them in the early slot against ucla on Sunday too, given how they historically schedule R32 games.

The whole point of the West Coast pods is to have those sites be the late games. 1am finish and then a 48 hour turnaround for a second game is a competitive disadvantage to the UConn-Furman winner.

This UConn-Furman game is going almost to 1am ET on the East Coast in Philadelphia. Pretty horrific scheduling. This shouldn't happen. UConn if they advance should be given the late slot on Sunday because this is insane.

This UCLA-UCF has not been well played, officiated, tracked at scorer’s table and even not well watched nor enjoyed by me. Lost teeth, just incredible physical contact, lost track of fouls on a player. Snail crawl pace of play. This has been a struggle

This is hilarious. Tough to get matched up with a 1. PV A&M won their play in Dayton and it’s one reason I think most 16 seed auto-bid winners don’t mind going to Dayton. Gives you a chance to have an equal matchup and create forever memory and moment like they did against Lehigh

Folks with that all 96 officials working the First Round of March Madness have been tweeted out by me. Thanks everyone for following. These are some of the most fun days of the year. Will post next round predictions for tomorrow’s games when all 4 of late window games finish 👍🏻

@JDBetsFL I watch as a neutral observer, don’t bet, don’t have a bracket. I watched Santa Clara-Kentucky and High Point-Wisconsin and then wonder if this is the same sport here for UCF-UCLA

It is a shame UCLA was not the final night game. Hearing Mick Cronin's displeasure at both early ET tips this year plus getting bumped back to 11pm ET would have been.... a compelling listen!

The scorer's table has not been especially crisp today at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
