UConn, powered by big man Adama Sanogo, is the favorite entering the Final Four.

See?

Your old pal told you UConn was going to the Final Four.

OK, fine, so it’s the only good thing about my NCAA Tournament bracket that ran in the paper the morning after Selection Sunday.

Oh, please, like your bracket was any better.

What an outlier this men’s tournament has been, the only one ever without a No. 1 seed in the Elite Eight and the first one since 2011 — and just the third since 1980 — without a 1 in the Final Four.
