2019 NCAA tournament predictions: Midwest Region picks, upsets

Posted Mar 20, 2019
The Tar Heels might be the favorite to make it out of Kansas City and advance to the Final Four, but it won't be easy. There could be some big upsets in the bracket. For all the attention Duke received since Zion's return, UNC lost by only one point in the ACC tournament and beat the Blue Devils twice earlier this season. After an early exit last year, UNC will be back in the Final Four. (NCAA.com)
