Here we go as you need to grab the Maalox or Rolaids as the "Plot Thickens" talking all you Bracketologists that think you know every nook and cranny of the 2k19 NCAA Tournament. Yes the Bluedude has 14 Teams remaining in his bracket but took a hit early and often in the first 32 games as who knew? 

Now we get the best of the best in #1 Seeds the Tar Heels, Blue Devils, Zags and Cavaliers. Throw in more than enough Seeds two thru three there will be very little margin for mistakes by players but more importantly by lead man dba Head Coaches. 

Now we get to the West and South Regional Games powered by #1 Seeds the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Virginia Cavaliers. Let's breakdown the four games tonight as they all should go down to "One Shining Moment" and yes slide over to a New England Patriots Game Jim Nantz the Bluedude went there...

Playbook

The 'Noles Defensive Game Plan will be the key as they let Murray State's Ja Morant get his but cut off the electric and water from his teammates. This will be different as the Zags have two monsters in that front court and they must contain Clarke who I think is the Energizer Bunny for Gonzaga.

For the Spokane U Bulldogs Team John Stockton they must own the glass (Rebounds) and play their game and get out forcing the all important "Pace"! If the game gets up in scoring numbers the 'Noles do not have enough firepower for that as they want to play in the 70s and the Zags near the century mark...something has to give.

BOILERMAKERS Key Players 

PG Carson Edwards 
CG Ryan Cline
G Nojel Eastern
C Matt Haarms

VOLS Key Players

PF Grant Williams
Big Guard Admiral Schofield
G Jordan Bone
G Lamonte Turner
G Jordan Bowden

Playbook

This is a super intriguing match up as I have always said Guard Play will get you deep into March Madness and both teams rely heavy on guards. Looking even closer as Purdue gets the edge with Mr. Edwards the Vols should "Own" the paint with All-American Grant Williams and super-sized Big Guard Admiral Schofield. Can the Boilermakers slow both down will be a huge factor as Edwards will be in play big time for the Boilermakers!

RED RAIDERS Key Players

PF Tariq Owens

MAIZE & BLUE Key Players

SF Ignas Brazdeikis (Big 10 Freshman of the Year)
G Charles Matthews
PG Zavier Simpson
Wing Jordan Poole
C Jon Teske

Playbook

Both teams love to shoot the money ball but the Red Raiders like Up-Tempo that Doug Moe "Organized Chaos" and they are led by true Soph All-American Jarrett Culver. The Wolverines go as C-Matt and Simpson go they are the ring leaders dba lynch pins for UM and they are dynamic players very seasoned beyond their year. This is a pick'em and I think the best of all the games on Thursday...

PG Ty Jerome

Playbook 

The Ducks are running on a win streak that dates back to PAC 12 play and running on Payton's Place in Ducks PG Payton Pritchard. "Jelly Fam" Alum Lou King has joined the party as has Shooter Ehab Amin who has been the igniter off the bench. Can they stop UVA All-American DeAndre Hunter who is a monster sprinkled with smooth-shooting Kyle Guy and UVA's Megamind Ty Jerome? This game will be won on "Pace" if the Ducks force "Pace" lookout...
