NCAA Tournament 2012: Midwest Region, Instant Analysis
By Jason McIntyre
Knee-jerk favorite: UNC in a landslide. It’s not even close, really.
Double-digit seed capable of a run: Belmont (14). Played Duke very close at Cameron Indoor and then played Memphis tough for 35 minutes. I’ll probably take the Bruins in half my brackets.
The committee screwed up: Seton Hall didn’t get into the field. Nor did Iona. Bad calls there by the committee. The Big East deserved 10 teams! Two of the last teams in the field reside in the Midwest: Cal and NC State.
Knee jerk Regional Final guess: UNC vs. Kansas (chalk!)
