NCAA Men's Tournament 2022: Upset Meter for Every Game

This season's NCAA men's Sweet 16 is especially intriguing. Along with a bona fide Cinderella in Saint Peter's, there are resurrected blue bloods in UNC and UCLA, defensive juggernauts ...

Let's hear your opinions.

Here's the bottom lines:
No. 1 Gonzaga vs. No. 4 Arkansas
Upset Meter: Extremely unlikely. Arkansas won't be able to keep up.

No. 2 Villanova vs. No. 11 Michigan
Upset Meter: Extremely unlikely. It's the end of the road for a spirited but overmatched team.

No. 3 Purdue vs. No. 15 Saint Peter's
Upset Meter: Extremely unlikely. Saint Peter's has punched above its weight, but Purdue is more balanced than ever and should deliver the knockout.

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 4 Providence
Upset Meter: Unlikely. Kansas will cruise behind big games from Martin and Agbaji.

No. 2 Duke vs. No. 3 Texas Tech
Upset Meter: Moderate. Great offense vs. great defense; it's a toss-up.

No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 5 Houston
Upset Meter: Likely. The Cougars are a slow train coming.

No. 10 Miami vs. No. 11 Iowa State
Upset Meter: Likely. Pencil in the Cyclones for more havoc and the small upset.

No. 4 UCLA vs. No. 8 North Carolina
Upset Meter: Extremely likely. Jaquez or not, UNC has the momentum.

thanks for the analysis into the games. I’m still liking Saint Peter's to win this one!

Note mine. Got it from Bleacher Report. Also seems to be rating UPSET strictly based on seeding, which we all know is BS.

This is true. If your betting off seeding you will most likely lose

I agree with the Houston call. They are just too athletic.
Also that Tech and Duke is a toss up. Regardless of who wins it should not be called an upset.

UNC winning is NOT an upset at all.

Prov can beat an over-rated Jayhawk team.

I dont think texas tech/duke is a bad line


but some of these others make no sense


i wonder if legalization had any effect?

i mean we had covid in the past

anyone that can get 15 or more assists against texas tech wins, this is a day at the office for duke imo with the 15 assists coming tonite..watch for a lot of easy baskets for williams today when tech is double down on the other players for duke in the paint.
