Three 2024 March Madness bracket games to watch
One of the most intriguing 2024 March Madness matchups to watch: No. 5 San Diego State versus No. 12 UAB. Despite falling to New Mexico last Saturday in the Mountain West Tournament Championship Game, the Aztecs are NCAA Tournament-tested, having won five games last year before losing to UConn in the final. The Blazers have won five straight games and won each of their three AAC conference tournament games by double-digits en route to winning the league’s automatic bid.
Another 2024 March Madness matchup to keep an eye on is No. 8 Florida Atlantic vs. No. 9 Northwestern in the East Region. The Owls made an improbable run to the Final Four last season as a No. 9 seed and returned all five starters from that team this season. The Wildcats qualified for the Big Dance for only their third time and look to win a first round matchup for the second straight season under coach Chris Collins. The winner of this contest will likely earn a meeting with top overall seed UConn in the second round.
Another 2024 March Madness matchup to watch out for: No. 4 seed Auburn will battle No. 13 seed Yale in the East Region. The Tigers feature one of the nation’s most explosive offenses. Auburn is scoring 83.3 points per game this season, which ranks 13th in the country. Johni Broome leads the Tigers in several important statistical categories, including points (16.2), rebounds (8.4) and blocks (2.3) per game. Yale, however, is giving up just 66.6 points per game. The Bulldogs have won at least 19 games the last five years, making the NCAA Tournament three times during that span. You can see the model’s 2024 NCAA bracket picks here.
