Need an upset pick in your NCAA bracket? Choose UC San Diego or UC Irvine. The Tritons are 28-4 on the season and have won 13 in a row. They have outscored opponents by an average of 18.4 points, second-highest in Division I behind Duke (22.1).

TRACR has loved UCSD all season. The best part? This would be the first time the Tritons are eligible for the NCAA Tournament, as they recently moved to Division I. What a chance for Eric Olen’s squad.
