Micah's predictions for Sunday Big Ten NCAA Tournament games
Both Iowa and UCLA have met their match and will have to be at their best to pull off an upset on Sunday in March Madness
The Big Ten's run of dominance could come to an end on Sunday, as multiple teams could meet their match and get bounced out of the NCAA Tournament. Purdue will have another chance to keep its contender status alive, while UCLA and Iowa are set to try and shock the world. Here are my predictions for the NCAA Tournament in the second round on Sunday for Big Ten teams: No.
2 Purdue over No. 7 Miami The momentum is at an all-time high for the Purdue Boilermakers , and I do not think it stops vs Miami. The Boilermakers offense is rolling, and I think Braden Smith will put up another star performance to keep the run going.
No. 1 Florida over No. 9 Iowa Iowa got past Clemson even with a poor shooting performance.
Bennett Stirtz will have to be Steph Curry and then some to knock off a loyal people's title team favorite, the Florida Gators. Florida is coming off a 59-point win; they are as dominant as it gets. I think Iowa will put up more of a fight, but this will be a David and Goliath story where Goliath comes out on top.
