Bracket Breakdown: West Region
We wrap up our look at each region (before ceding the floor to Storming The Floor for more in-depth looks. Here's the West region. We're so glad they're calling it "Wet" again, instead of "Phoenix," though "Phoenix" is a beautiful place full of happy people and cacti.
Best Storyline: Will everyone enjoy the schadenfreude of another early Duke exit? Perhaps the two most likable teams in the tournament — Baylor and Georgia — both ended up here.
Worst Storyline: Is that team really called the Delta Devils? Really?
Everyone's Favorite Upset: More people are going to pick Georgia in this bracket than really should. Something about that Connecticut-San Diego game lingers in our loins as well.
Odd Fact: This is the fourth tournament appearance for Drake. The first three times, they made at least the Elite Eight.
Most Handsome Man: Mike Krzyzewski.
Most Skipable First Round Game: BYU-Texas A&M.
And, some predictions from around the Internets:
Dick Vitale: UCLA. Jay Bilas: UCLA. Bob Knight: UCLA. Stuart Mandel: UCLA. Dennis Dodd: UCLA. DEADSPIN: Duke. Yes. We've predicted a Duke-UNC final. What of it?
