Who Do I Have Winning The 2025 March Madness Tournament?

I finally filled out my bracket for the 2025 NCAA Tournament and it should be yet another awesome tournament. I wonder if there will be more upsets in the first weekend or it will be rather chalky, meaning the favorites and higher seeds win more than the lower seeds do. I will be rooting for both High Point and Yale who are 13 seeds to have first round upsets. The local ties are awesome as again High Point's assistant coach is Matt Brady and Yale's head coach is James Jones. Yale upset Auburn last also as a 13 seed and has almost the same exact team. Below is my quick take on this as seen in The Times Union:

Before the Madness starts let me give you my Men’s Final Four. Michigan State and Florida on one side of the bracket, and Duke and Tennessee will join them in San Antonio. I have Duke and Florida playing for the National Championship with the Gators cutting down the nets. I don’t any Cinderella story lines but there will be upsets along the way. There is a reason it’s called March Madness.
