2021 March Madness Bracketology – West Region Favorites and Sleeper to Watch
The 2021 NCAA Tournament Bracket is out and the West Region is looking like a great road for the #1 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs. Can they coast to the Final Four? Time will tell. You have to like their path though. Check out our official March Madness picks page for our picks in every game all the way thru the National Championship on April 5th.
West Region Top Seeds
#1 Gonzaga Bulldogs – This is without question the best team in Gonzaga history and the one many expect to be the school’s first National Championship team. On paper. They will have to do it in the court and, as we know, crazy things happen in the Big Dance. However, at 26-0 overall and loaded with NBA top tier talent, head coach Mark Few has no excuses this year.
#2 Iowa Hawkeyes – Iowa went 21-8 overall and had a very good season. However, a #2 seed? Really? We don’t see it. They were thoroughly outclassed by Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and we just don’t see the talent necessary to come out of the West. At all. Toss these guys from your Final Four contenders as they are not coming out of the West. Period.
#3 Kansas Jayhawks – This is not your usual Kansas team that’s loaded with talent and capable of winning a National Title. Just calling it like it is. Having said that, they are dangerous and can get hot and go on a deep run. They finished the season strong and we had them beating Texas in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals before COVID knocked Kansas out of the tournament. Head coach Bill Self is a great coach and he has a team coming together at just the right time.
#4 Virginia Cavaliers – Virginia is a hard team to read. One year they are gagging to a #16 seed and the next they are cutting down the nets as National Champs. You just don’t know what you are going to get from these guys. You can pick them to reach the Sweet 16 and they lose their first game to #13 Ohio or you can pick against them and they are the team to upset #1 Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 and end up going to the Final Four. They are capable of either scenario.

West Region Sleeper Special
#7 Oregon Ducks – Oregon is a big time sleeper in the West Region. They are well coached under Dana Altman and they have the athleticism and skill to play with anyone. The Ducks went 20-6 overall in a very good PAC 12 and lost in the PAC 12 Tournament to eventual Tourney champs, Oregon St. Frankly, they have no business being a 7 seed. They are better than that. Consider writing in Oregon for a deep run in the West because they are more than capable.
