7 p.m.: Now we can start talking about the games themselves.
Region strength 1-16 probably goes Midwest, West, South and East.
Villanova clearly has the easiest path to the Final Four of the No. 1 seeds which is a surprise since Virginia is the No. 1 overall seed. Wildcats will probably get their hardest test from the Sweet 16 (Wichita State or West Virginia).
There appears to be some major games in the second round if we avoid upsets. Really would look forward to Kentucky-Arizona and Wichita State-West Virginia.
Worried about teams like Alabama, Providence and Davidson that had long, emotional conference tournament runs.
