NCAA Tournament 2024: Best bracket busters, March Madness Cinderella picks by proven basketball model

[ad_1]

Last year’s NCAA Tournament infamously had two March Madness Cinderellas, San Diego State and FAU, and no teams seeded 3 or better made the Final Four for the first time in history. While some may see that as an outlier, others may look at their 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket and believe it’s an omen, with mid-majors making deep runs through the 2024 March Madness bracket. San Diego State is tied for the best-seeded mid-major this year at No. 5, with Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s also earning those seeds for March Madness 2024.

Making the 2024 Final Four is one feat, but winning the national championship is another, and no mid-major has done that since UNLV in 1990. How far should you pencil in the top teams from non-power conferences to advance in your March Madness bracket 2024? Before making any 2024 NCAA Tournament predictions, see the March Madness bracket picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has nailed 20 first-round upsets by double-digit seeds since its inception in 2016 and nailed UConn’s dramatic Final Four run as a 4-seed last year. It went an amazing 22-10 in the first round, including an astounding 12-4 in the Midwest and West regions.

Last year, SportsLine’s computer simulation nailed massive upsets, including huge wins by No. 13 Furman over No. 4 Virginia and No. 10 Penn State over No. 7 Texas A&M. The model has beaten over 92% of all CBS Sports bracket players in three of the past five tournaments.

Now, SportsLine’s advanced computer model has simulated the entire 2024 NCAA Tournament 10,000 times to come up with the perfect 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket and find out which teams will pull off the biggest upsets. You shouldn’t even think about making a pick without seeing what their model has to say.
