the SOUTHEAST REGION is wide open....#1 PITT PANTHERS have no real road block.....Can the GATORS, COUGARS, or BADGERS beat them?.. Bracket BREAKDOWN

The PITT PANTHERS have by far the easiest stretch to the NCAA Final FOUR in the BLUEDUDE'S Mind. The other three top seeds are castoffs of other conferences that didn't even win the Season Conference Titles.

The #1 Question.......Can anyone...I mean Anyone beat the PANTHERS in this region?.....I think so.......and the BLUEDUDE'S answer might surprise you.

14 WOFFORD: Ok you know what I am going to say...how many will JIMMER FREDETTE, averaging 28.5 ppg, get in this one? If WOFFORD can low down the other COUGARS in this one...they might have a chance...BYU'S loss of DAVIES will get to them sooner or later
WINNER: 3 BYU

WINNER: 5 K STATE

6 ST JOHNS'S
3 BYU: Ok too much LAVIN and RED STORM.....FREDETTE will finally run into a wall as the JOHNNIES use their DEPTH and quickness to wear down the COUGARS....FREDETTE still a sure-fire LOTTERY PICK as he goes into the draft as Mark PRICE 2k11..the loss of DAVIES finally catches up to the COUGARS
WINNER: 6 ST. JOHN'S
