NCAA Basketball: Previewing the 2017 PK80 Victory Bracket

The PK80 Tournament is going to be one of the best early-season events in NCAA basketball this season. Which teams reside in the Victory Bracket?

The PK80 Tournament, which is to be played over Thanksgiving weekend, is going to be one of the best early-season tournaments this year. The tournament is being sponsored by State Farm and will honor the 80th birthday of Nike Co-Founder Phil Knight.

There are two brackets in this overall tournament and each bracket consists of eight teams. The brackets are named “Victory” and “Motion” and this article looks specifically at the Victory Bracket. For information on the Motion Bracket, see here, where we did another article breaking down that field and their projections.

Each of the two brackets will pit some of the top programs in the entire nation against each other. A ton of teams in this 16-team tournament are capable of reaching the NCAA Tournament in March and as these teams will have to play 3 games in 4 days, it is a great weekend to experience for every team.
