2017 March Madness Expert Picks – Midwest Region Odds, Predictions and Bracketology Projections: There is no shortage of heavy hitters in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament Bracket. Kansas, Louisville and Oregon are the top three seeds, and perennial March power Michigan State is lurking as the No. 9 seed. Throw in the Atlantic 10, Big 10 and Big 12 tournament champions, and this region may be the deepest top to bottom.
2017 March Madness Expert Picks: Midwest Region Odds, Predictions and Bracketology Projections
NCAA Midwest Bracket Favorites to Make the Final Four
Kansas: Kansas cruised to another Big 12 regular season crown, and despite an early exit from the conference tournament, they still landed a No. 1 seed. Out-of-conference wins against Duke and Kentucky further legitimizes Kansas as a national title contender. Guard Frank Mason is a frontrunner for the Wooden Award and one of the most reliable player in the clutch, and star freshman Josh Jackson has gotten better all year. The Jayhawks are talented and battle tested. I expect a deep run in March.
Oregon: Make no mistake. Losing a rim protector and stretch big man like Chris Boucher in the conference tournament is going to hurt to Oregon’s defense and offense. However, I don’t think it eliminates the Ducks as Final Four contenders. Oregon still has four players averaging in double figures and five who can knock down shots from beyond the 3-point line, including clutch guard Dillon Brooks. A manageable bottom portion of the bracket should also give the Ducks time to adjust to the loss of Boucher before the competition gets tough.
NCAA Midwest Bracket Upset Specials
Michigan State over Miami (Fla.): A young Spartans team limp into the NCAA Tournament with a 19-14 record, but March is Tom Izzo’s time, and you can count on him using the underdog card as a source of motivation. Michigan State has a star-caliber player to lean on in Miles Bridges, and despite chronic problems with turnovers, Izzo has shown time and time again that he can get the most out of his teams when it matters most. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes don’t have the type of high-powered offense that could give Michigan State’s up-and-down offense serious issues.
Rhode Island over Creighton: After a rough start to the year, it looked like Rhode Island could miss the NCAA Tournament all together. Instead, the Rams caught fire, winning eight straight and the Atlantic 10 tournament crown. Rhode Island’s resurgence can be tied to Hassan Martin getting healthy, and the Rams have the athleticism to give teams fits on both ends of the court. Granted, Creighton boasts a top 20 offense with plenty of perimeter firepower, but Rhode Island can handle an up-tempo, high-scoring pace, and I think the Rams have the edge in athleticism.
NCAA Midwest Bracket High Seed on Alert
Louisville: The Cardinals have relied on their suffocating defense for most of the year, but the defense has lost its bite this month. Louisville allowed more than 80 points to Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Duke down the stretch and has gone 2-3 in its last five. The Cardinals are not an efficient offensive team, and they can really struggle to score when Donovan Mitchell isn’t scoring. Unless the defense returns to form, the Cardinals are a prime candidate for an early upset.
