WEST REGION Breakdown....the ZAGS get the #1 Seed and some home-Cooking but they will be challenged...BUCKEYES, LOBOS, K-STATE, and BADGERS amongst others can win this Brackets #MarchMadnessWestRegion

The Zags got what they rightfully deserved even though they had no victories on teams on the 1 line, 2 line, and 3 line...they still took care of business. The other Teams in the Brackets that are super dangerous are the Buckeyes and Badgers from the Nation's Top Men's Hoops Conference in the Big Ten. Upstart New Mexico has been doing this for awhile under former Indiana Hoosiers Star Steve Alford and they are always for real. Former Illini Coach Bruce Weber has the 'Cats playing at a high level as they finished #2 in the Big 12.

The Sleepers Teams are Pitt, Ole Miss, Belmont (the new Butler Bulldogs), and Wichita State. The West will be a battle as all the Teams from lets say 1-10 are about even from a talent standpoint.

West Region is sponsored by..with the Zags getting the #1 Seed in the West are any of the other Teams intimidated by possibly facing the Zags?

WEST REGION

1 Gonzaga
16 Southern U

The Zags met an Athletic bunch from the SWAC but should make quick work of them with the Zags Size. If Southern wants to pull off an upset it will have to close down the Arc and shoot it well from the Arc. Zags should win.

8 PITT
9 Wichita St

The Pitt Panthers have been playing well from the midway point of the season to now and they are tough and physical. The Shockers are a staples in the Missouri Valley Conference and they will give Pitt all it can handle and more. This is a Pick'em Real Talk.

5 Wisconsin
12 Ole Miss

The Badgers will have to deal with the Long-Arm of the South...Rebel Combo G Marshall Henderson (pictured right) #1 in the Ole Miss Line Up and #22 in the Program. The Rebs like to get up and down the floor and the Badgers need to plat their pace and slow them down. Interesting 5 and 12 right here.

4 K-State
13 TBD

It doesn't matter and you hate to give no Student-Athletes no hope but Cinderella has one Pair not five. The "Cats will take care of whoever they get.

6 Arizona
11 Belmont

The Wildcats are Jekyll and Hyde and they better not pick this game to play two halves or they will be back in Tuscon wondering what in March Madness just happened. Belmont is making its third straight trip with all their players back and they will be tabbed to win this game by many including the Bluedude. Cinderella will be playing Belmont in 2013.

3 New Mexico
14 Harvard

Your probably saying Harvard is going to get mopped up. Hold your horses as the New Mexico Student-Athletes need to be forgetting the Cell Numbers, Twitter Handles, and making arrangements to go hang out with Team Crimson. Yes Coach Alford and the boys are really good but they will hear this chant when they go up 15 on Former Duke PG Tommy Amaker's Squad..." That's all right that's Ok ...you will Work for us one day"...and that's Real. That next Social Media Site is coming out of Harvard..trust the Bluedude on that.

7 ND
10 Iowa St

The Irish though the Big East was tough wait till they start to play the Cyclones and Lead man Fred Hoiberg aka the Mayor. Another pick'em and the Irish better guard the Arc and get back in transition Defense or they will get blindsided by this Cyclone.

2 Ohio St.
15 Iona

If Jeff Ruland was playing I would give the Buckeyes less of a chance. High Street Hoops Club Lead Man Thad Matta is one of the best in the US and they are poised to make a deep run and winning the Big Ten Tourney CHampionship put this Boys over the Top. (pictured Buckeye Floor General Aaron Craft aka Duke's Bobby Hurley 2K13)

Yes this is One of Two Teams that the Big Ten will place in the Big Bird Cage 404 (home of the Dirty Bird Falcons). Matta and the High Street Hoops Team will get it crackin' like Urban Legend and the Buckeyes Football Club.
