4d6100b01a6c4fe682c38e7c7f662e2cAs everyone knows, this year’s bracket is WIDE open for anyone to take. This very well could be the year that all four number 1′s make the final four, but there’s enough depth in the field to make it so that known of the top seeds make it to San Antonio. With that said, the Creatures give you one man’s humble opinion as to how this year’s March Madness will shape out.
