Three 2023 March Madness bracket games to watch
One of the most intriguing 2023 March Madness matchups to watch: No. 8 Arkansas vs. No. 9 Illinois in the West Region. Illinois enters the NCAA Tournament in a bit of a slump, losing three of its last four games. Arkansas has also had trouble finding the win column in recent weeks, losing four of its last five contests. The winner of this matchup will likely face No. 1 seed Kansas in the next round.
Another 2023 March Madness matchup to keep an eye on: No. 5 Saint Mary’s vs. No. 12 VCU. If you like watching defensive battles, this matchup was made for you. Saint Mary’s has been one of the best defensive units all season long, giving up just 60.1 points per game, which ranks fifth in the nation. VCU also features a suffocating defense, holding opponents to 56 points or less in two of their last three outings.
No. 4 UConn vs. No. 13 Iona is another critical matchup in the West. Rick Pitino’s Iona squad breezed through the MAAC Tournament, beating Marist by 21 points in the title game. UConn, meanwhile, won 25 games this season, the most since 2015-16. The Huskies feature an effective offense that is averaging 79.0 points per game.
