Final review and predictions

The PK80 Victory Bracket represents one of the best combinations of talent in any early season tournament. There are national powerhouses, rising programs, and a couple of teams that could play spoiler to some of the top teams. With three games played in four days for each of the teams in the tournament, this bracket gives everybody experience in playing games while on no days of rest.

As far as predictions go, here are my picks:

First round: North Carolina over Portland, Arkansas over Oklahoma, Oregon over UConn, Michigan State over DePaul

Second round: North Carolina over Arkansas, Michigan State over Oregon

Championship game: Michigan State over North Carolina

3rd place game: Arkansas over Oregon

Consolation second round: Oklahoma over Portland, UConn over DePaul

5th place game: Oklahoma over UConn

7th place game: DePaul over Portland

Next: Previewing the PK80 Motion Bracket

This will be an incredibly fun couple of days and if you are looking for more basketball, there is also the Motion Bracket of the PK80 Tournament. Both of these brackets include a ton of high-profile programs and that will make for some great competition. Make sure to turn your TV to the PK80 over Thanksgiving weekend.
