The NCAA revealed the 2016 NCAA Tournament field on Sunday and it is already pretty clear that there is no clear-cut favorite pick by many college basketball analysts.
ESPN’s Jay Bilas revealed his picks for the Final Four and the national championship on Monday’s edition of SportsCenter.
Right now, he is predicting the Kansas Jayhawks and North Carolina Tar Heels to play in the title game with the Jayhawks pulling out the win for their first national title since 2008 and fourth overall. He also has Texas A&M and Michigan State making the Final Four.

The NCAA Tournament officially tips off on Tuesday with the First Four and the Round of 64 starting on Thursday.
