2018 NCAA Tournament: First Four Predictions

Here are my predictions for the First Four round of the 2018 NCAA tournament. The games will be held at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio.

Tuesday, March 13th
(16) LIU Brooklyn (18-16) vs (16) Radford (22-12)- 6:40, truTV: The Blackbirds are properly seeded here meanwhile the Highlanders are better than a sixteen let a lone shouldn't be in the First Four. Carlik Jones hit the buzzer beater in the conference championship game to get the Highlanders in this spot and I believe he'll lead the way for them to the Round of 64.
Prediction: Radford

(11) St. Bonaventure (25-7) vs (11) UCLA (21-11) 9:10, truTV: This should be a pretty fun game. The Bonnies have the best player in this game in Jaylen Adams, but the Bruins have the better team led by Aaron Holiday, Jaylen Hands, and Kris Wilkes and they'll advance to the Round of 64.
Prediction: UCLA

Wednesday, March 14th
(16) North Carolina Central (19-15) vs (16) Texas Southern (15-19)- 6:40, truTV: Both of these teams belong in this spot. The Tigers have a nice duo in Demontrae Jefferson and Trayvon Reed and they'll lead the way to the Round of 64.
Prediction: Texas Southern

(11) Arizona State (20-11) vs (11) Syracuse (20-13)- 9:10, truTV: This should be a fun game as well. The Orange should not be in the field and are lucky to be in this spot as Tyus Battle will keep them lurking in this contest against a Sun Devil team that is very underrated led by their backcourt of Remy Martin and Trae Holder.
Prediction: Arizona State
