Bracket Breakdown: Midwest Region

Top Four Seeds: Kansas, Georgetown, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt
Favorite: Kansas
Sleeper: USC
Bracket Buster: Davidson
Best First Round Game: Davidson vs Gonzaga
Upset Watch: Vanderbilt vs Siena, Villanova vs Clemson
Best Player You Don't Know: Stephen Curry G Davidson

Wisconsin is just as unhappy as Tennessee is with their seeding. After winning the Big Ten tournament title and boasting a 29-4 record, Bo Ryan's club was placed into a region with possible match-ups with Georgetown, Kansas, and a dangerous second round game vs USC. Georgetown is also afraid of a possible second round game with either Davidson or Gonzaga because both teams have talent and are not scared of the big boys. Look for this region to maybe have a few upsets but mark down the Elite Eight for Kansas and Georgetown. The Hoyas are a well coached team and play tough defense. Kansas has been searching for tournament success for quite some time and Bill Self believes they may have found it.

Sweet Sixteen: Kansas, Clemson, USC, Georgetown
Elite Eight: Kansas vs Georgetown
