[INSERT CBS MANDATED FAWNING OVER DUKE AND COACH K HERE]
Before we get to my predictions and other TAKES, here's a look at this part of the bracket:
#1 Duke Blue Devils vs. #16 North Florida/Robert Morris
#2 Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. #15 North Dakota State Bison
#3 Iowa State Cyclones vs. #14 UAB Blazers
#4 Georgetown Hoyas vs. #13 Eastern Washington Eagles
#5 Utah Utes vs. #12 Stephen F. Austin
#6 SMU Mustangs vs. #11 UCLA Bruins
#7 Iowa Hawkeyes vs. #10 Davidson Wildcats
#8 San Diego State Aztecs vs. #9 St. Johns Red Storm
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.
