Men's basketball bracket doesn't look full of surprises.
Former Auburn star Chuck Person was the No. 1 draft choice for the Indiana Pacers. Will he be the top choice to replace Jeff Lebo? (Indiana Pacers)Auburn will take its time to find a new men's head basketball coach and there is a push inside and outside the program to hire a minority candidate. Should Athletics Director Jay Jacobs put a minority hire as his top priority?
What about former Auburn star Chuck Person, now an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers? Will his name recognition, NBA resume and AU ties outweigh his lack of college coaching experience?
Birmingham News columnists Kevin Scarbinsky and Ray Melick and reporter Jon Solomon say in this week's sports podcast that Person would be a good choice, but he's not the only choice.
Also, with March Madness under way Scarbinsky, Melick and Solomon agree there's not much hope for a Cinderella past the opening weekend this year.
What teams will make the Final Four and what possible upsets are lurking in the bracket?
