Who wins the South Region?

Duke. They're good.

Who got the best draw?

UCLA, because they actually made it into the field. I mean, WTF?

OK, in reality I'd say Iowa State. I'm high on them and I think they have a nice chance to run to the Elite Eight.

Who got screwed?

Whoever got left out of the tourney for UCLA.

Who wins the #5 vs. #12 matchup?

Stephen F. Austin breaks Bill Walton's Pac-12 loving heart.

Who is the region's Upset Lock Of The Week Of The Century?

Eastern Washington, because I can't get away from the 14 seeds.
