[ ] - Ology, Episode V, The Midwest Regional

Final region, other than USC making a surprise run, pretty formful.

First Round

16 Morehead St over 1 Louisville
Ahhh, just seeing if you were paying attention, of cours it's Louisville, sorry Morehead fans if I got your hopes up.

2 Michigan St over 15 Robert Morris
Who knew a talent agency had a basketball team? (oh, that's William Morris, get my Morrises mixed up).

3 Kansas over 14 North Dakota St
I think it's safe to say that North Dakota St will not become the first team from North Dakota to advance to the Final Four. I know I'm going out on a limb with this prediction, but that's the sort of bold leadership you've come to expect from this blog.

4 Wake Forest over 13 Cleveland St
Yawn.

5 Utah over 12 Arizona
Arizona should not be in the tourney, and they'll prove it by getting blown out by Utah

6 West Virginia over 11 Dayton
Yawn, II.

10 USC over 7 Boston College
In my opinion, the most interesting match up of the first round. USC has been playing very well of late, and I think they'll continue that play through a few rounds of this tourney.

9 Siena over 8 Ohio St
Another 8-9 coin flip of little consequence given that the 'winner' gets to be demolished by Louisville.

Second Round

1 Louisville ove 9 Siena
I think Louisville will be the only #1 that will look like a #1 throughout the tournament. A blow out here.

10 USC over 2 Michigan St
A big upset, Michigan St is ripe for an upset, talented and well coached, they're just unlucky to run into a wildly inconsistent but even more talented team just as they're putting things together.

3 Kansas over 6 West Virginia
Another solid victory for another solid Kansas team.

4 Wake Forest over 5 Utah
Another solid victory for another solid Wake Forest team.

Sweet 16, Elite 8, Regional Champs

1 Louisville over 4 Wake Forest
Louisville just has too much firepower, Wake Forest will play well, but not well enough.

10 USC over 3 Kansas
If they can beat Michigan St they can beat Kansas. Trojans keep on rolling.

1 Louisville over 10 USC
The Trojans' run ends. They'll get unrolled, used, and then discarded like a, well, um, brand name latex prophylactic.

Louisville will be the only 1, 2 or 3 seed in this tourney to escape the upset bug and see its way to the Final Four in Detroit. I blame Pitino's hair, it's glorious.
