I'm picking #5-seed Auburn to upset #2-seed Kentucky in the Elite Eight because Auburn is the hottest team in the tournament. Although they lost an influencer in Chuma Okeke for the rest of the tourney, I think a sense of camaraderie to the team that will unite them. It gives them something to play for, besides a championship, and March Madness is all about passion. Bryce Brown is one of the best guards in the nation, and he will lead his team to an upset.

I'm picking #2-seed Michigan State to upset #1-seed Duke in the Elie Eight because Michigan State is looking way more lethal than Duke is. Cassius Winston is playing outstanding basketball, and he has proven that he is a truly great baller. While Duke is the better team, they are not playing like it. They escaped UCF after two misses at the basket, and they survived a Virginia Tech scare after a missed wide open tip-in. I think Duke's luck has run out.
