Predictions: The Cinderella story continues.

In the Texas-size throwdown between Houston and Baylor, U of H will advance to the National Championship game. Expect Quentin Grimes to have a big game, as the shooting guard has been playing some of the best basketball of his career. Baylor is the favorite; however,  Houston is on an 11-game winning streak, which is the second-longest streak in the tournament. The Cougars will advance to the title game after escaping the Final Four with a double-digit win.

UCLA will do the improbable with an upset over Gonzaga. The Bruins are the only First Four team remaining in the tournament and defeated Michigan in the Elite Eight, so they have experience defeating a 1-seed. The Bulldogs are heavily favored, as they’re led by Jalen Suggs, but the Bruins have shown that they can hang with anyone. The Bruins will advance to their 13th national championship with a victory of fewer than 6 points.
