Filling out my bracket I have come to notice that the South Regional is both weak and hard to pick. The teams in that bracket are as follows for the 1-6 seeds:
#1 Duke, IMO realistically a late 2 or high 3
#2 Villanova, Not playing great of late
#3 Baylor, Don't know much on this team but their bigs would give Nova a headache in a potential matchup
#4 Purdue, Got waxed by Minnesota and hasn't looked same since Hummel went down
#5 Texas A&M, sleeper
#6 Notre Dame, really thinking about picking Old Dominion over them
IMO, Duke, Nova, Baylor and A&M are Sweet 16 bound.
Duke - Could lose to Ville or Cal, tough draw for them
Nova - Should make Sweet 16
Baylor - Will beat Nova IMO
A&M - Gets to play Purdue in 2nd round, nice draw for them
Essentially who do you see winning this Region???
I feel Baylor, but don't know much about them.
I have been high on Baylor for awhile...I think whomever wins the match up with them and Nova will beat Duke.
How can you go wrong with Baylor, and guys with sweet names like Tweety, LaceDarius, and Ekpe Udoh. I hope Gus Johnson gets one of their games.
I also have Baylor in the FF, but I seem to get crushed every year by my "sleeper" final four pick. FWIW
