2016 NCAA Tournament: South Region Preview, Predictions

Arizona Wildcats (6) vs. Wichita State Shockers (11)

The Shockers are hot — but so are the Wildcats. While Wichita isn’t nearly as deep as they have been in the past couple of years, when they went on multiple Cinderella runs, nobody wants to face Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker in the first round of the tourney. Meanwhile, the ‘Cats are one of the top rebounding teams in the nation, and have shot the rock very well.

OUR PICK: Wichita State
RPI: Arizona
