This is Zero’s bracket, and he picked UK.
Ha ha, they’re doomed.
That kind of pressure really shouldn't be a factor - most of them have already been there and gone through to the final game in the most difficult bracket as an 8 seed (beating an undefeated team that was the #1 seed, in total defeating 3 out of the four Final Four teams from the previous year including the defending national champion on the trip to the final game). They are back, playing better than ever before, much more experienced, and leading an additional pack of very talented freshmen. If they lose, not being able to handle the pressure of a tournament won't be the reason - they've already been through that once. Maybe taking an opponent lightly that they shouldn't along the way would be an issue, but they probably learned that lesson with narrow overtime wins against low ranked opponents during the regular season.
