It's a good thing that you know nothing.
 
I’d put UConn at at least 6. West region still looking very tough even without Kansas.

I still can't believe how brutal that West region is right now. Very curious to see how UCLA responds to Gonzaga. I've said all year UCLA can't win it all because they have no post scoring. While they've had a very successful season, they really haven't beaten too many good teams. To get to the finals, they're going to have to beat the best team they've played all season three games in a row.

Gonzaga took TCU's best punch and got buckets when they needed to. I think the Bruins stifling defense isn't going to be as nasty when they start playing teams that can actually score. There's a big difference in beating up on a weak Pac 12 and going up against high powered offenses like Gonzaga and versatile, balanced teams like Arkansas, UCONN, Texas and Houston.

Ya I was not impressed with UCLA's defense on Saturday. Juaquez was an absolute liability and the Northwestern guards were taking them off the dribble. It's not the same defense without Clark and Bona was rebounding with one arm by the end of the game.

Speaking of the difficulty of the west region, I thought this was interesting, especially the odds after the 1r.

Once Texas loses today, you will have 9 of your top 10 eliminated and your highest ranked team left at 8. That's kinda impressive.
