Sixteen points on my mind when thinking about the Midwest Regional:
1. Kansas has the toughest regional of any of the four No. 1 seeds and yet the Jayhawks were the overall No. 1 seed. Go figure. Kansas gets the Big Ten tournament champion (Ohio State) as a No. 2 seed; the Big East tournament finalist (Georgetown) at No. 3 and the co-ACC champion (Maryland) at No. 4. That puts some heavy company in the mix for Kansas. I didn’t even mention Michigan State at No. 5. The Spartans were a runaway Big Ten title team at one point this season before hitting the skids. And don’t forget Missouri Valley champion Northern Iowa at No. 9, too. This is a loaded bracket. more from Katz
