CBS Sports commentator Seth Davis isn't one to avoid speaking boldly. March Madness disappointed selections. Having only one quarter of the 2025 men's NCAA tournament bracket revealed, he immediately zeroed in on an underdog journey to the Sweet 16: South Region's No. 12 seed UC San Diego.
Led by guard Aniwaniwa St. Jones (who averaged 19.5 points per game), the Tritons had an outstanding 30-4 season, clinching victory in a tough Big West conference to secure their spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time. Davis believes they won’t just be one-season wonders, partly due to being predicted as potential upsets again this year according to the brackets.
Everyone should start getting familiar with the word Aniwaniwa since UC San Diego is set to triumph—not just against Michigan in the opening round; I predict Yale will also cause an upset in the first round by defeating Texas A&M. This implies that the Tritons, during their inaugural season at Division I, aim to continue competing. They are heading towards the Sweet 16.
Should UC San Diego manage an impressive surge during their first appearance in March Madness, they might have the chance to go up against the country’s leading squad. No. 1 overall seed Auburn perches at the top of the South Region bracket.
