    West Regional Discussion

    Discuss the West region here.

    One of the things that I just noticed was the potential for BYU to have home court advantage if they make the second weekend. I do have Kansas State coming out of the region however.
    I write things on the Internet.

    Anyone else liking BYU in this region? I have them making the Elite 8. That potential homecourt advantage they could have if they beat Kansas State could be huge.

      I got them making the Sweet 16 Vs Kansas State, with Kansas State advancing to the Elite 8.

        Could happen. I posted something in the A-10 thread that Xavier has kind of a nice draw to get to the Sweet 16. I think either them, or Minnesota, can beat Pitt in the 2nd round. Xavier played Pitt last year in the tournament and two potential Sweet 16 opponents (Florida and K-State) they've already played this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for X but not sure if they'll beat Minnesota on Friday. They were rather underwhelming in Atlantic City (again) last weekend. Still could make a run though.

          Didn't Pitt & Xavier match-up last year in the torney? I vaguely remember Fields hitting a big shot.

            Minnesota hasn't been playing great either. They struggle to score and they've had some pretty awful games. I think Xavier will beat them, but it will be a lower scoring defensive, physical game. I would love to put Xavier into the elite 8 b/c I don't think Kansas St. is that strong, but I really don't think Xavier can win 3 games in the tourney.

              Yep, Sweet 16 game. I don't think that shot would have mattered had Derrick Brown not stepped on the endline when X was sort of trying to run out the clock a bit. Had X scored on that possession, they would have been up 4, I think, with not a whole lot of time. Instead Pitt got the ball and Fields eventually hit that 3 with a hand in his face. It wasn't a pretty game by either team but overall X played better than Pitt did. Got the L though.

                  Murray State is giving Vanderbilt a run for their money. They just won't go away, no matter how much Vanderbilt gets ahead.
