The tourney is difficult to predict this year. Like most years....
East: Duke has to have the easiest path of all the 1 seeds as they should as the #1 overall seed. I have a feeling they are going to get a surprisingly close game from someone and do not think it's going to be from Michigan St. Duke has to make it out of this region.
West: Has the most intriguing and interesting 1st round game of the tournament in my opinion between Marquette and Murray State. I do not trust Gonzaga or Michigan as the 1 and 2 seeds to make it. I'm leaning towards Texas Tech or FSU to make the Final Four...although I think both could be out in their 2nd round matchups. Cannot sleep on Buffalo or Arizona St.
South: I'm not sure what to do here. Look at the names of the teams in the South region and tell me who you trust to get out of that region. If Bennett does not get to the Final Four this year, I'm not sure he ever does. A UVA v. Tenn game in the Elite 8 could be really good.
Midwest: An Auburn v. UNC game could be interesting in the Sweet 16. Iowa St, Houston and Auburn can be dangerous and can possibly screw this region up. Wofford or Seton Hall could make things interesting for Kentucky in the 2nd round.
