Bracket projection: Charleston

For the first time since 1999, coach Earl Grant's College of Charleston Cougars find themselves in the Big Dance, thanks to as good a "big three" as any mid-major in the country. Grant Riller, Joe Chealey, and Jarrell Brantley each average 17 points per game, one of only two trios in Division I with that distinction. Can the Cougars parlay their production into an unexpected tournament run?

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.
