Andy Katz filled out his entire bracket in a video with Bleacher Report.

One of the biggest takeaways from Katz’s bracket is No. 4 Maryland reaching the Final Four.

The Terrapins (25-8) are seeded in the South Region and play No. 13 Grand Canyon in the First Round.

Maryland is led by “The Crab Five,” arguably the best starting lineup in the nation. The entire starting five averaged double figures during the regular season:

  • Derik Queen: 15.7 ppg
  • Ja’Kobi Gillespie: 14.9 ppg
  • Rodney Rice: 13.7 ppg
  • Julian Reese: 13.2 ppg
  • Selton Miguel: 12.0 ppg

Katz likes Marland to beat No. 1 Florida in the Sweet 16 before defeating No. 3 Texas Tech in the Elite Eight to reach the Final Four.

If you like upsets, Katz has three ten-seeds winning in the First Round.

  • No. 10 New Mexico over No. 7 Marquette
  • No. 10 Arkansas over No. 7 Kansas
  • No. 10 Vanderbilt over No. 7 St. Mary’s

In the East Region, Katz has the No. 6 BYU Cougars going on a deep run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.

In Katz’s bracket, the high-scoring Cougars defeat No. 11 VCU, No. 3 Wisconsin, and No. 2 Alabama before ultimately falling to No. 1 Duke in the Elite Eight.

Katz has No. 1 Auburn facing No. 4 Maryland and No. 1 Duke playing No. 1 Houston.

“Even though Auburn has struggled lately, I still think they’re the best in the country,” Katz said before picking the Tigers to advance to the championship.

In the second semifinal, Katz likes Duke taking down Houston.

In a battle of the country’s two best teams, Katz likes Johni Broome and Auburn to beat Cooper Flagg and Duke.
