Previewing the wild West Region for the NCAA Tournament

This region is stacked. Four of the top 9 teams in the country according to the KenPom efficiency rankings are all in this West Region. And the top seed is ranked 4 among those 4 teams. And Saint Mary’s ranks 11th. This region is loaded!

Who comes out on top?

Who wins the West: UConn

UConn is versatile, deep, athletic and they have stars. At times they have looked like national title contenders and at times they have struggled. What holds them back the most is fouling. If they can play a clean game defensively, they will be tough to beat.
