The NCAA tournament is almost here, and countless basketball fans across the country have already filled out their brackets ahead of the opening rounds on Thursday and Friday.
Yahoo users, at least for now, are sticking with the top-ranked team.
Kansas was the only other school to garner double-digit support. The Jayhawks, who won last year, were picked to repeat in almost 13% of brackets. Purdue came in fourth in 8.4% of brackets, and then Gonzaga and UCLA each were picked in 6.3% of brackets. Charleston was the fourth most-popular upset pick in Yahoo brackets. The Cougars, after going 31-3 this season and winning the CAA regular season and tournament titles, will take on No. 5 seed San Diego State on Thursday.Unlike the men’s side, there is one overwhelming pick in the women’s bracket.
The Gamecocks earned the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, too, and will host the opening rounds before playing in the Greenville 1 region, assuming they make it out of the first weekend. Having essentially four home games makes their path to Dallas and the Final Four that much easier.
