1. Kansas
2. Auburn
3. Iowa (5), KP 13
4. LSU (6), KP 19
5. San Diego State (8), KP 22
6. UW-Madison (3), KP 34
7. USC
8. Iowa State (11), KP 48
9. Providence (4), KP 49
10. Creighton (9), KP 53
This region is a mess. UW-Madison and Providence are the two luckiest teams by KenPom in the field and they’re in this region. LSU fired their coach. Iowa has a weak defense.
I can make a case for Colgate and have made a case for South Dakota State to win the openers, despite any geographic favoritism.
That said, this is probably the best region for the Big 10 to make some hay. UW-Madison should be in a good spot to make the second weekend and Iowa has a good path, too.
I can’t see Kansas losing before the Sweet 16 where Iowa might have a shooters chance. Auburn, though sloppy at the finish, will be prohibitive favorites to make the Elite 8. I think they have the most talent and best roster and survive the region of average
