2018 NCAA Tournament: Elite 8 Predictions

Here are my predictions for the Elite 8 for the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

Saturday, March 24th
(S11) Loyola-Chicago (31-5) vs (S9) Kansas State (25-11)- 6:09, TBS: The Ramblers are coming off yet another improbable win, this time over the Nevada Wolfpack. The Wildcats are coming off a great win over the Kentucky Wildcats. This is a coin flip game and I like the Ramblers, led by Clayton Cutser and Team Captain Sister Jean, to advance to the Final Four.
Prediction: Loyola-Chicago

(W9) Florida State (23-11) vs (W3) Michigan (31-7)- 8:49, TBS: The Seminoles are coming off a great upset win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Wolverines are coming off a dominant win over the the Texas A&M Aggies. This is an incredible run by the Seminoles and Leonard Hamilton has done a great job with this team, but the Wolverines are just the better team led by Mohamed Ali-Abdur Rahkman and Moritz Wagner.
Prediction: Michigan

Sunday, March 25th
(E3) Texas Tech (27-9) vs (E1) Villanova (33-4)- 2:20, CBS: The Red Raiders are coming off a good win over the Purdue Boiler Makers. The Wildcats are coming off a great win over the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Red Raiders can score with the Wildcats, but the Cats are just so much better led by Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.
Prediction: Villanova

(MW2) Duke (29-7) vs (MW1) Kansas (30-7)- 5:05, CBS: This is such a marquee game we got here. The Blue Devils are coming off a narrow win over the Syracuse Orange. The Jayhawks are coming off a win over the Clemson Tigers. There is a ton of talent on both ends with Devonte Graham and Malik Newman for the Jayhawks and the outstanding five some of the Blue Devils with Marvin Bagley, Gary Trent, Wendel Carter, Trevon Duvall, and Grayson Allen. That five some is gojng to lead the way for the Blue Devils to the Final Four.
Prediction: Duke
