Dickie V picks the rest of the 2024 men's NCAA tournament

The most exciting weekend of the basketball season was awesome baby, as we saw some outstanding PTPers carry their teams through to the Sweet 16.

It’s no surprise to see All-Stars like the Houston Cougars‘ Jamal Shead and the Illinois Fighting Illini‘s Terrence Shannon Jr. put on magnificent performances.

After reviewing all the action, my VBDI (Vitale Bald Dome Index) says these are teams that will battle through to next week’s Final Four.
