    LOS ANGELES — While UCLA and USC will fall short of New Orleans, there will be a distinct Western flavor in the Big Easy with Gonzaga and Arizona. And how about a Pac-12 champion as national champion for the first time in 25 years?

    Check out national college writer J. Brady McCollough‘s NCAA Tournament picks.

    All games listed below will be streamed live on March Madness Live and all times are Pacific.

    ———

    First Four

    No. 16 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi vs. No. 16 Texas Southern

    Tuesday, 3:40 p.m.

    TV: TruTV

    Line: Texas Southern by 3.5.

    Pick: Texas Southern is making its sixth NCAA Tournament appearance since 2014, so it knows the drill. That experience will pay a dividend.

    Texas Southern 60, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 57

    No. 12 Indiana vs. No. 12 Wyoming

    Tuesday, 6:10 p.m.

    TV: TruTV

    Line: Indiana by 3.5.

    Pick: The Hoosiers found an extra gear in the Big Ten tournament and their defensive intensity should keep the Cowboys at bay.

    Indiana 73, Wyoming 64

    No. 16 Wright State vs. No. 16 Bryant

    Wednesday, 3:40 p.m.

    TV: TruTV

    Line: Wright State by 1.5.

    Pick: Bryant senior Peter Kiss averaged 25.1 points this season and has NCAA Tournament darling written all over him.

    Bryant 75, Wright State 70

    No. 11 Rutgers vs. No. 11 Notre Dame

    Wednesday, 6:10 p.m.

    TV: TruTV

    Line: Notre Dame by 1.

    Pick: Rutgers plays at the level of its opponent, for better or worse. The Scarlet Knights will have just enough grit to move past untested Notre Dame.

    Rutgers 63, Notre Dame 59

    West region — First round

    No. 1 Gonzaga vs. No. 16 Georgia State

    Thursday, 1:15 p.m.

    TV: TNT

    Line: Gonzaga by 23.5

    Pick: The Bulldogs have way too much offensive skill and explosiveness to lose to a No. 16 seed.

    Gonzaga 96, Georgia State 65

    No. 8 Boise State vs. No. 9
