My two cents. lol

Ranking the regions:

#1 East

#2 South

# Midwest

#4 West

What does everyone think?

Cake draw for the Cats. Anything less than a Final Four is a colossal failure.

Getting ready to see where everyone ends up (especially the Cats) as well as Morehead and WKU. 

Some questions before the reveal starts in about 30 minutes. 

Will UConn be overall #1 seed? Yes

Who will be the 4 #1 seeds? I say UConn, Houston, Purdue, North Carolina.

Who will be # 2 seeds? I say Iowa State, Marquette, Tennessee, Arizona  

Will Kentucky be a #3, #4, or #5 seed? I say they will be a 4 seed

Will Rick Pitino set an NCAA record by taking his 6th different team to the tournament? I say no they will be the first or second team out imo

Anyone else have any thoughts or comments?

I got 4 out of my 5 questions correct the one I missed am not upset about the Cats being a #3 seed instead of a #4.

I’ve been waiting for my Cardinals to be selected, maybe next year lol.

West Region:

#1- North Carolina

#2- Arizona

#3- Baylor

#4- Alabama

I change my previous statement that the Midwest was the easiest I think it is the 2nd easiest. I think the West is the easiest.

There is history for the West traditionally being the “easiest” of the regions. It’s normally the last #1 seed and the fact the committee does their best to keep teams geographic. There simply isn’t enough teams west of the Mississippi to draw from.

Clark Kellog pick UConn, Kentucky Purdue, Arizona.

Based on overall seeds, they are in the easiest bracket.

I think it is the 2nd toughest behind the East. I personally think definitely the west is easier and I think the midwest is as well.

Just going back and looking at the #1-#4 seeding for the tournament I wonder if this has ever happened before. Here it is:

In the South, Midwest, and West regions none of the first four seeds won their conference championship. The east bracket all 4 seeds won their conference championship.

Tough draw for Morehead State a #14 seed get to play #3 Illinois.

 

Surprised they didn't get UK.

Kentucky has a pretty easy path to the Elite 8. Post COVID tournament history isn’t allowing my to look past Oakland.

Free money. 

Every analyst seems to be picking UConn.  Makes me pretty confident it doesn't end up them.
