Quick Thoughts on the 2010 March Madness Bracket

• Kansas was easily voted the unanimous #1 team going into the tournament. Then they are rewarded by being placed in the brual Midwest Region? What gives? Besides Kansas, the Midwest consists of quality teams such as Big Ten powerhouse Ohio State, Big East tournament runner up Georgetown, Tennessee (The only team to defeat Kentucky and Kansas), and last year's championship game losers Michigan State. Kansas will have an easy time getting to the Sweet 16 but after that its going to be a dogfight.
• Duke is widely thought to be the most unimpressive #1 seed. Luckily for them they have what should be a cake walk to the Final Four. The South Region is made up of a struggling Villanova, an unproven Baylor, a Purdue team that has been downright awful since losing forward Robbie Hummel, and very weak cast after that. Duke has been facing questions about their legitimaticy all season. If they want any type of credit they better be in Indianapolis on April 3rd.
• Kentucky and West Virginia will meet in the East Regoin Finals. Bank on it
• Syracuse, coming off two straight losses, better regroup fast. Their first game is against a Vermont team that beat them in the first round only a few years ago. If Syracuse can defeat a few decent opponents they will find Kansas State waiting for them in the West Region Final.
• Its safe to say that most people want to see a Kansas-Kentucky National Championship Game.
  Kentucky might have six 1st round draft choices in the upcoming NBA Draft, and Kansas is a veteran group that plays sound team basketball. This game would be a toss up between two storied College Basketball programs.
• Lastly, unlike many years, there will not be many upsets in this year's tournament. Its strong at the top but there is a big dropoff after that. Let the madness begin....
