Oklahoma State Basketball: Taking a look at my NCAA Tournament Bracket

The 2017 NCAA Tournament Bracket is set, and today we get a look at the official Andrew Miller picks all the way up to the Final Four and beyond.

There’s something about March Madness that drives fans crazy but keeps their eyes glued to televisions throughout the entire NCAA Tournament. The Oklahoma State basketball team got the 10 seed in the Midwest Region against the seven seed Michigan Wolverines from the Big 10 Conference.

The entire NCAA Tournament bracket, including the four play-in games, are now fully announced. It’s tradition for any level of college basketball fan to fill out their Tournament bracket during March Madness and the Final Four and Tournament Championship in April.

Taking a look outside of things from the Pokes Post and Oklahoma State basketball fan perspective, what does my Tournament bracket look like from the Round of 64 all the way to the National Title game?

Here’s a look at the entire NCAA Tournament bracket as it stands right now. Things will change very quickly with the play-in games starting on March 14 and the actual Round of 64 starting on Friday, March 17.

I am not going through my entire bracket of picks as that would go far beyond what most people actually care about. This will include my individual picks up to the Sweet Sixteen and beyond.

A few things to keep in mind, everybody’s opinion is always vastly different when making picks for their bracket. I am not using specific metrics for every single pick, sometimes you just have to go with your gut. And, I always give a slight edge to OK State when they make the Tournament, but I am still a realistic fan.
