March Madness 2026: Ryan Fagan Reveals Shocking Upset Picks That Could Rewrite NCAA History
The Pick: No. 2 Houston. The Cougars are just so very good – sixth in overall TRACR – and they’re playing the second weekend in Houston? Yes, please.
West Region
Upset Special: No. 12 High Point vs. No. 5 Wisconsin. Gotta pick at least one 12-over-5, right? High Point is 30-4, has lost only once since mid-December and is averaging 90.0 points per game. Yup, nine-zero. The Panthers don’t necessarily have the ingredients for a long run, but they can score with anyone in the country.
Dark Horse: We’ll get to Arkansas in a moment, but for now, let’s go with No. 6 seed BYU. Yeah, the Cougars have underperformed in the W/L column but even now it’s hard to shake the memories of the 2003 NCAA Tournament, when we saw what a high-impact NBA prospect (Carmelo Anthony, for Syracuse) can do to give March its madness. A.J. Dybantsa is averaging 25.3 points per game, and even though the Cougars have lost a lot of matchups with top teams, they’ve been right in the game for most of them. Lessons learned, tweaks made?
