The March Madness has begun and teams are all set to make their journey through the table. While all the championship games have concluded, it’s time for the knockout games to take place. The 2022 March Madness Bracket has a list of teams that are predicted to make it to the next round. Some of the expert predictions are still standing with the Gonzaga Bulldogs to win this tournament. While the Bulldogs were the only undefeated team last year, they failed to win their finals leaving them with the only loss on the season.
The Arizona Wildcats have become the Pac-12 Champions as they managed to stay ahead of the UCLA Bruins with a three-game lead in the conference. The Wildcats finished in style with a six-game winning streak dropping only two of their 20 conference games. Overall, they won 31 of their 34 games on the season and are no doubt one of the favorites. The Wildcats are now placed in the South Region and their first-round game is yet to be announced, which will take place on Saturday.

The Wildcats took out the Bruins in their final Pac-12 Tournament game with an 84-76 final score. That said, they need to be prepared for their opponent in the South Region.

Arizona has the potential to make their way out for the South Region provided they get past a few tough opponents. That said, we could be seeing the Wildcats at the round of 16 or probably even the elite eight. Based on the recent basketball betting odds, the Wildcats have a good chance to win their first-round against their opponent.
