Printable NCAA Bracket 2015: Downloadable Sheet with Surefire Final Four Picks
Selection Sunday continued its trend of being completely unpredictable, delivering quite a few surprises during the 2015 NCAA tournament bracket reveal.
We saw our fair share of snubs this year, as the committee didn't see Temple fit to earn a tournament bid despite several quality wins—including a 25-point victory over Kansas. Arguments could also be made for Colorado State and Miami, among others.
Even some of the nation's top teams were given a bit of a shock when the field was released, as Virginia's ACC tournament loss saw it drop to a No. 2 seed, Maryland wasn't too happy about receiving a No. 4 seed and somehow UCLA received a No. 11 seed despite a rather unimpressive run this season.

Final Four Predictions
Midwest: Kentucky
There really isn't any kind of a reason to bet against the Wildcats at this point. John Calipari's squad sits at 34-0 entering the tournament after completing a perfect regular season and dominating SEC opposition during the conference tournament.
The SEC's final against Arkansas displayed Kentucky's ability to easily take down tournament-worthy competition. The Razorbacks were a fantastic offensive team this season; however, the Wildcats' big men made it extremely difficult for them to score on the inside, leading to just 63 total points—15 lower than their season average.
With the red-hot Notre Dame, Kansas and even the sneaky Wichita State Shockers in the Midwest, this certainly isn't an easy quadrant to predict. Although, Kentucky's ability to win on both ends of the court with a strong interior presence is what will propel it past those squads and into the Final Four.
East: Villanova
It will be Villanova's momentum that allows it to get through the East's opposition and earn a spot in the Final Four this year. After all, the Wildcats are riding a 15-game winning streak that includes victories over Georgetown, Butler, Providence and other tournament teams.
The Wildcats have been lights-out of late, as the experienced squad is easily one of the nation's most well-rounded teams. In the Big East final, Villanova held Xavier to shoot just 37.9 percent as a team, showing strong defense on the perimeter while winning the rebound battle. Offensively, the Wildcats are extremely difficult to contain due to the range of their guards.
Virginia may be viewed as Villanova's most difficult opposition in the East; however, the Cavaliers haven't been overwhelmingly impressive of late, dropping two of their last three games and exiting the ACC tournament early.
West: Arizona
All right, this isn't an attempt to create an all-Wildcats Final Four. Following a loss to Arizona State, Arizona went on an absolute tear and is riding an 11-game winning streak after decimating some very strong Pac-12 competition along the way.
The Wildcats' 80-52 victory over Oregon in the conference tournament final was an absolute statement game. The high-octane Ducks were held to shoot just 40.0 percent from the floor and collected just 20 rebounds to Arizona's 37. Meanwhile, the Wildcats were sharp on the offensive end of the court, bucketing 54.5 percent of their shots as three starters scored double-digit points.
Yes, Arizona will have its hands full in a quadrant that features Frank Kaminsky's Wisconsin Badgers, but the Wildcats have an overwhelming amount of athleticism and are very capable in transition and creating opportunities on fast breaks. That will be enough to get through to the Final Four.
South: Gonzaga
The Bulldogs sustained a tough loss to BYU on Feb. 28, killing a 22-game winning streak and essentially taking the team out of contention for a No. 1 seed. Well, Gonzaga responded appropriately, winning its next two contests before trouncing that same Cougars team 91-75 in the WCC tournament final.
Gonzaga's sharpshooting offense will make life difficult for its NCAA tournament opposition. The nation's most accurate team, the Bulldogs continued to drain buckets from all over the court against BYU, shooting 53.7 percent from the field while hitting 8-of-12 from downtown. Combined with solid perimeter defense, good facilitation and ball distribution, this is a well-rounded squad poised for postseason success.
The East quadrant does boast some stiff competition in Duke, Iowa State and Georgetown; however, none of those teams have been quite as consistent as the Bulldogs have been down the season's final stretch and into conference tournament play.
