What's fun about the tournament is the prediction process in choosing the winning teams before the games start. Fans create brackets in hopes of being the first person ever to predict all the winning teams and champion. Every year the tournament has major upsets and surprises that changes the expectations of the tournament.

This year my alma mater Arizona is ranked #4 in the South division and I'm rooting for them to go all the way! For more info on teams and bracket: http://games.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2018/en/bracket?metricSource=mem_module

Arizona got a really tough draw IMO. That being said, I think they are playing really, really good at the moment. A difficult matchup with Kentucky looming in the 2nd round but I think they get past UK. Virginia is a beast though. If Zona can get past Virginia though, I think they could get to the Final Four and possibly win it.
