Former Rockets Star Kenny Smith Breaks Down The NCAA Bracket

What a treat to see one of my favorite Rockets on SB Nation's new YouTube channel, talking with Amy K. Nelson about the bracket. An unabashed Tarheel fan, he picked them for making a deep run, but he made some interesting points about the rest of the regions. It's worth your time, because Kenny is always entertaining and drops some knowledge.

The biggest surprise prediction to me? He says UNC-Asheville can give Syracuse trouble in the first round, because they've got great guards and with the zone Boeheim's bunch plays, that lets good outside shooting teams hang around. Interesting stuff, so go watch it now!

On a side note, if you haven't listened to the BS Report with Bill Simmons featuring one of Kenny's old teammates in Robert Horry, go do it right now. Horry is very engaging and made me smile quite a bit with his stories of Hakeem and those mid-90's Rockets teams.
