Midwest Breakdown:
I think this region gave me the most headaches to fill
out. From before Sunday I was eager to put Wichita State in the Final
Four but after going through it I felt Louisville would be the team to get there.
Of course, Louisville is the hot trendy every analysis pick to make it. I
always make it a point to ignore that team and this year will be no
different. I don’t like Michigan, I’d be surprised if they make it past
Texas/Arizona State. Next in line is Duke, who’s defensive inefficiency
is troublesome. If they play Mercer then Tennessee, and then Michigan
it’s possible their toughest opponent will be Mercer. I like them to make
the Elite Eight and run into a tough Shocker team.
As for upsets I love Iowa or Tennessee over Umass and I
think Xavier gets past NC State and Saint Louis. I don’t think the
Jaspers will win but I bet they give Louisville a game for about 30 minutes.
This region is still up in the air right now but here’s the
preliminary thoughts:
Upsets:
Tennessee over UMass
Xavier over St. Louis
Final Four:
Wichita State over Duke
