The 2022 NCAA Tournament bracket has been revealed and Gonzaga is the No. 1 overall seed for a second consecutive season. Can superstar freshman Chet Holmgren help boost a Gonzaga team that returned Drew Timme, Andrew Nembhard and Anton Watson from last year's team? Before you fill your NCAA Tournament bracket, you NEED to see which teams legendary broadcaster Jonathan Coachman is backing.Â
Coachman spent time in WWE as an announcer and occasional in-ring personality but he's also an accomplished sports broadcaster and a former college basketball player. "Coach" currently works for CBS Sports and also works as a commentator for PGA Tour Live.

Now, Coachman has shared his full bracket for the NCAA Tournament 2022. One part of it that we can reveal: No. 9 seed Creighton earns the upset win over No. 8 seed San Diego State in the Midwest Region's first round. Creighton put together a strong run in the Big East Tournament before losing the final against Villanova and Coach is expecting them to stay hot in the first round.
He's also backing No. 11 seed Iowa State to get past LSU in the Midwest. No. 11 seeds are 11-9 in 6 vs. 11 matchups the last five NCAA Tournaments and LSU is rudderless after head coach Will Wade was fired for suspected recruiting violations.
Coachman is also expecting No. 2 seed Auburn to go down against No. 7 seed USC in the second round. The Trojans enter the 2022 NCAA Tournament with 26 wins and have impressive length with Isaiah Mobley, Drew Peterson, Chevez Goodwin and Max Agbonkpolo all playing major roles. Meanwhile, Auburn has lost three of its last six games and could be vulnerable in a tough region.
