I think the bracket is a lil tougher than expected....Notre Dame should be a team to watch...until they get to UNC of course..this bracket is by far the roughest and toughest of them all.

In the first and second round locations, 4 teams from two different brackets play.

Not all of the East will be in Raliegh. N.C. will play winner of UI and Arkansas, and winner of Gonzaga and Davidson will play Georgetown. The ones moving to Sweet 16 meet the other teams (in their bracket) in Sweet 16 in their respective locations.

In 1st and 2nd rounds, locations get 2 sets of 4 teams from 2 different brackets.

East is loaded. I'll take Carolina to win it. If they don't play defense, they could lose but they have been playing good D as of late.

Don't forget Wazzu. They may have no chance of winning it all, but they're a harsh D to face.

don't forget Butler either...very fundamentally sound, will be playing like a team who got forgotten...A 7 seed, really? And they aren't gonna be happy with the fact that they have to play South Alabama in Alabama...they should be a sleeper in this very very tough region

I agree the East region is arguably the toughest bracket of them all. UNC will face either Arky or Indiana in the 2nd round! WTF, that is going to be a tough game for UNC either way. As long as UNC plays D like they have the last few weeks I think we can win this region and make it to the final 4. It will be interesting to see what happens at the bottom of the bracket with Tennesse and Butler. Go HEELS!!!

Louisville plays excellent defense to, and presses way better than that clemson team that unc struggled with today.

Louisville will have to get past UT to get there.  How quickly we are forgotten by losing to Arkansas by 1 yesterday.

Louisville is too deep for UT. We are do long and big for UT. and we deeper. and that deepness helps our press which would ultimately shutdown UT's dribblers.

North Carolina pretty much has a lock for the Elite Eight, especially with basically a home court advantage playing at Raleigh and Charlotte.

But my Vols have to go through Butler, then either Oklahoma or Louisville. Tough.

Hopefully Arkansas will play Indiana and then UNC, like they played UT. (But I doubt it).

The East has some good teams, but I think the Midwest is the hardest - Kansas, Clemson, Wisconsin, and Georgetown.

Anyone else find the 6-11 matchup very intriguing between Oklahoma (6) and St. Joe's (11)? I feel that St. Joe's will win this game. Oklahoma is much bigger, but St. Joe's has better guard play and will be able to run up and down the floor against the Sooners.

Any predictions on a potential Louisville - Tennessee Sweet 16 matchup?

I think that Louisville can come out of this Region......also watch out for Butler and Winthrop....n Sooners fans dont be suprised if they lose in the first round

Butler should be a 4 seed and Indiana a 5th or 6th.....North Carolina is gonna have a second round matchup if Indiana can get its act together.
