Next level matchups, most likely late in the Tournament

Perhaps one of the best things about the NCAA Tournament is the the potential next level matchups that await us in the second and third weekends of the excitement. Nickeil Alexander-Walker of Virginia Tech vs. Duke’s R.J. Barrett is one matchup that could await us in the Sweet 16.

Additionally, we could also see Ja Morant vs. Gonzaga’s myriad of draft prospects in the same round. Perhaps the one matchup that many of NCAA fans and NBA Draft gurus around are hoping to see one more time is Duke vs. North Carolina.

Both team are littered with NBA talent, and we would once again be blessed with seeing Zion Williamson on the biggest stage – they would meet in the National Championship – against arguably the second most talented team in College Basketball. Should Zion Williamson perform well from opening tip to the final whistle, it would all but guarantee him being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
