The first weekend of the men’s 2024 NCAA Tournament concludes Sunday. In the day’s action, four double-digit seeds will look to pull another upset and clinch a spot in the Sweet 16. Who will advance? Our experts are here to make their predictions.
Three of the four No. 1 seeds are also in action on Sunday, with Houston, UConn and Purdue hitting the courts. All three teams are decent-sized favorites. Although, if you read our Bracket Breaker analysis, Houston faces an interesting matchup on Sunday. Texas A&M is one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country, and Houston — despite being one of the best defensive teams — has a tendency to give up offensive rebounds.
Our experts have picked the winner for every game on Sunday and will for all of March Madness. The games and picks are listed below in order of when each game starts so you can follow along.
Here are the standings for the pickers:
