COLUMBUS, Ohio — You could have labeled the Midwest Region the Darwin Region. Survival of the fittest. When the brackets were revealed, it was saturated with college basketball blue bloods: North Carolina, Kentucky, and Kansas. Well, Kansas is gone...
One sad day doesn’t change the solid foundation these Huskies have built
Two years ago, the idea of Washington making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament was far-fetched if not outright absurd. Same with it running away with the Pac-12 title or winning 15 straight games at home.

There was not a single player in the Duke-UNC game more important than Tacko Fall. Even in a loss, he stood above all: https://t.co/ULkEBJ5Bwl

Oh that sounds familiar...#UVA played like a team under less pressure Sunday. After the win, coach Tony Bennett came into the locker room and pulled the monkey - a stuffed monkey - off his back. The Cavs are through the first weekend of the NCAA tournament and on to the Sweet 16. https://t.co/023nG2oWYd

The tournament is still loaded with all of its premier talent. These Sweet 16 games are going to be fun to watch. -
I was torn with which regional to go to this week. Wound up picking Kansas City and the Midwest. Great storylines and could be great games. UNC vs. Auburn Kentucky vs. Houston -
