Bracket Projection: Virginia Tech

The Virginia Tech Hokies' rotation is thinner than a Brazilian supermodel at Copacabana Beach. But the Hokies are in the Big Dance for the first time in Buzz Williams' three seasons in Blacksburg. It has been a slow, steady build for Williams at Virginia Tech: 11 wins in Year 1, 20 triumphs in Year 2, along with an NIT berth, and now the team is NCAA tournament-bound. The Hokies are down to eight scholarship players and Williams opts to play seven of them, so each player logs lots of minutes. Can the Hokies avoid both foul trouble and fatigue to spring some March Madness?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
