Jeremy Conn: Midwest Bracket
Possible upsets to watch in first round- I like Ohio over Michigan, Belmont could give Georgetown a difficult game and Alabama could give Creighton issues with their defense.
Sweet 16 teams in my bracket - I have UNC playing Temple and Kansas playing Georgetown.
Players to watch - Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes of North Carolina, Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor of Kansas, and I love Ramone Moore and Juan Fernandez of Temple... All of these players are really difficult to match up with.
My Final Four team - I have North Carolina over Kansas. North Carolina is a tough team to match up with. They have the best front court in the country. Trying to match up with Barnes, Zeller and Henson is difficult for any team. The X-Factor for UNC is Kendall Marshall. Marshall is the all time leader in assists in the ACC and when he is able to knock down 3 pointers, they are nearly impossible to defend.
