Jay Wright’s March Madness 2023 Bracket

Jay Wright’s March Madness 2023 Predictions & Picks

Jay Wright is most known for his illustrious coaching career at Villanova where he won two national titles in three seasons. He’s retired from ‘Nova and is now an analyst for college basketball at CBS. However, don’t be surprised if you see him take another job offering it comes. Possibly St.John’s or Georgetown who have vacant openings at the moment and Wright is very familiar with the Big East.

The picks that he gave on CBS’ selection Sunday show were for Texas and Marquette to make the Final Four. He also had Indiana spotted in to make the Sweet 16.

Texas to make the Final Four (+350)

Texas Men’s basketball ended their season on a strong note by defeating the defending national champions in the Big 12 conference tournament championship. That punched their ticket into the Bid Dance where they’ve earned and #2 seed in the Midwest Region.

Their first-round matchup will be tomorrow night at 7:25 pm EST when they face the #15 Colgate Raiders. This is the first time since the 2008 season that Texas is a #2 seed and they reached the Elite 8 that year. They finished the season as the #7 team in the country and ended with a 26-8 record.

Marquette to make the Final Four (+370)

The Marquette Golden Eagles put the NCAA selection committee on notice when they won the Big East tournament this year. That success earned them the #2 seed in the East Region and they will have a first-round matchup on Friday vs #15 Vermont.

Their team is led by Big East COY Shaka Smart and they have made back-to-back tournament appearances for the first time since 2013. Marquettee’s #2 seeding is the highest in program history and they expect to do big things in the tournament this year.

Indiana to make the Sweet 16 (+138)

The Hoosiers did not make it as far as they’d hoped to in the Big Ten tournament, but they are not a team to take lightly in March Madness. Indiana earned a #4 seed in the Midwest Region and their first-round matchup will be against a tough Kent State team.

Kent State won the MAC conference tournament championship vs Toledo and punched their ticket to the postseason. Indiana are led by standout player Trayce Jackson-Davis. He’s regarded as one of the top players in the country and his team will lean on him to help them make a deep run.
