Durant playing it mostly safe with NCAA bracket

March means filling out brackets, and Kevin Durant was nice enough to do one for USA Today that could be publicly scrutinized.

Certainly, Kentucky is a logical pick for this year's champion. Durant's alma mater - Texas - didn't have an outstanding year, but he did his duty as an alumnus in picking them to win a round. As an Oklahoma resident, he's got OU going to the Sweet Sixteen.

His flyer: taking LSU to knock off Villanova in the Round of 32.
