If you’re like me, you want to have every piece of information available to you when making your NCAA tournament picks. One of the key things I like to look at when making my picks for the first two rounds of the tournament is location and team record — where are the games being played, and how have these teams done this year? Unfortunately, many of the printable brackets out there leave out that important information.
Most will tell you that the regional finals for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games are going to be in Memphis (South Regional), New York (East Regional), Indianapolis (Midwest Regional) and Anaheim (West Regional). Everyone knows the Final Four is in Arlington at AT&T Stadium (aka Cowboys Stadium). But very few brackets show the location of the pods for the first two games or the records for the teams.
Below is a link to a printable bracket for the 2014 NCAA Tournament that includes pod locations and team record.
This one was created by Sports Illustrated and this link will take you to a printable PDF.
Below is a look at a printable bracket that includes a clear look at the dates of the games for every round and location. The only thing this one is missing is team record. You can click on the graphic below to see the enlarged version, which you can print.
I like that bracket the most because the dates of each game and location are listed clearly.
