Jordan Chiles is joining the March Madness fever, and she has a prediction about where the Tennessee Volunteers will finish.

A few days ago, the official NCAA March Madness X account shared a photo of Chiles alongside her bracket, revealing her overall picks. "Jordan Chiles’ bracket! Houston 🏆 No 1-seeds in the #MFinalFour 👀 Texas>BYU #MarchMadness," the caption read.

For Tennessee, Jordan Chiles has the Vols opening with a win over the Redhawks in their first-round matchup on Friday, according to the bracket shared online. And so far, it looks like Chiles' promise holds true.

When the Vols took on Miami, they demolished them with a 78-56 scoreline. Ja'Kobi Gillespie led the scoring charts with 29 points and 3 rebounds. But equally impressive alongside him was J.P. Estrella with 10 rebounds total.

And it shouldn't be a surprise. The Vols were the No. 23-ranked team going up against the Redhawks, who had slipped out of the rankings. But that's the end of the road for the Vols.

According to Chiles, their next opponent, the Virginia Cavaliers, will send them home. After a win over Wright St. (82-73), they're up next against Tennessee. And there's a good chance the Cavaliers will win.

For starters, Jacari White came off the bench to score 26 points, while the starters all fired consistently enough to get the team over the line. And their performances over the season saw them ranked as the No. 4 team by the end of the season. So a win seems inevitable.

But Even the Cavaliers Won't Make It to The Final Four, According to Chiles

Looking at the bigger picture, Chiles’ Final Four includes UCLA, Houston, Purdue, and Iowa State, a mix of powerhouse programs and strong contenders.

Now, putting the UCLA Bruins in the top-4 isn't surprising. After all, that's her own team! But the team's coach, Mick Cronin, doesn't seem worried at all.

"Twenty-three years as a head coach. I’ve never experienced it. Oblivious, man."

But even then, she doesn't think UCLA will win, with Houston predicted to go through. From there, she has Houston facing Purdue in the title game, with the Cougars coming out on top.
