You got my East Region picks, so let’s continue with the Midwest Region.

Midwest Region - 1st Round

(1) Kansas v (16) Portland State….do you really want this game broken down?  I didn’t think so….Kansas wins big

(8) UNLV v (9) Kent State….UNLV should be the stronger team, but in this tournament, anything can happen.  I just don’t think it’s at this point.  UNLV moves on

(5) Clemson v (12) Villanova….this might be an upset in the making.  Clemson could very well look past Villanova in this game, but coming off the win over Duke in the ACC Tournament and a near upset of #1 North Carolina, they should win.  Clemson pulls away late, moves on

(4) Vanderbilt v (13) Siena….Vanderbilt came off an upset win over #1 Tennessee, but followed that up losing 3 of their next 5, 2 of which were to Arkansas.  Does that matter?  Probably not…Vanderbilt moves on

(6) USC v (11) Kansas State….K State could provide an upset in this bracket, especially with wins against #2 Kansas and #10 Texas A&M.  USC also knocked off a Top 5 team (UCLA) and came oh so close to knocking off Memphis and Kansas in back-to-back games but lost both by a combined 8 points.  This could be one of the better 1st round games to watch.  Kansas State upsets USC

(3) Wisconsin v (14) CSU Fullerton….Wisconsin way too strong for Fullerton.  Badgers win big

(7) Gonzaga v (10) Davidson….I know Gonzaga has been a team to watch in the past, but I’m not sure this is the year.  Davidson wins in OT

(2) Georgetown v (15) UMBC….Georgetown may start off slow, but will be the Georgetown we’ve come to enjoy.  Hoyas win by double digits

Midwest Region - 2nd Round

(1) Kansas v (8) UNLV….Kansas has a goal in mind and UNLV is just another team standing in their way.  The Jayhawks will get a challenge, but they should pull away from the Rebels.  Kansas moves on

(5) Clemson v (4) Vanderbilt….Both teams have wins over ranked opponents, but which will take control of the game and move on?  I like Vanderbilt, but I think Clemson will find a way to pull out a win.  Clemson moves on

(11) Kansas State v (3) Wisconsin….The Cats will be coming off an upset win over USC and will be looking for more against Wisconsin, 1 problem, Wisconsin is just too strong.  Badgers win late, move on

(10) Davidson v (2) Georgetown…Davidson got a big 1st round win over Gonzaga, but their run ends here against a superior Georgetown team.  Hoyas move on

Midwest Region - Regional Semifinals

(1) Kansas v (5) Clemson….Clemson is going to be fired up and they’ll come ready to play.  No offense to Kansas, but their run ends here.  Clemson upsets Kansas, heads to Regional Finals

(3) Wisconsin v (2) Georgetown…Wisconsin is 4-1 against teams ranked in the Top 25 and will be the stronger team.  Wisconsin moves on to the Regional Finals

Midwest Region - Regional Finals

(5) Clemson v (3) Wisconsin….This should be a back and forth game for both halves and an overtime period.  When the dust settles, it’s Clemson who will find a way to win.  Clemson Tigers - Midwest Region Champions
