East Region

The Midwest region is quite a competitive region. There can be a case for each of the top 4 seeds to make the final four. The Sweet 16 games should a lot of fun. Some great stories in the other seeds as well.

Favorite: Alabama: The Crimson Tide can shoot and play defense. We believe that is the right combination for a winning team.

Contenders: Michigan, Texas, & Florida St: Each of these teams playing at their best is capable of winning four games to advance to the final four.
