Looking at the top 4 seeds in each region...
East Region has UConn (#1), ISU (#5) Illinois (#10) and AU (#4)
South region is Houston (#2, but so hobbled with injuries they may be an easy out) Marquette (#12) UK (#19) Duke (#8)
Midwest is Purdue (#3) UT (#7) Creighton (#11) Kansas (#22 and completely wrecked by injuries)
West is UNC (#9) Zona (#6) Baylor (#14) and Bama (#13)
Unbelievable how the committee could look at this and decide they'd drafted a balanced bracket. UConn as the #1 overall should be furious as should we, ISU and Illinois. Not going to dig back through every past year, but this might be the toughest region in the history of the tournament.
