UConn losing probably knocks them off the top 2 seed and opens the East bracket for them, which likely puts Iowa State in the Midwest.

Good chance 2 or more of the those three seeds don’t make it to the second weekend
East: 1. Duke 2. UConn
MW: 1. Michigan 2:Iowa St
West: 1:Arizona 2: Big 10 teams (Mich St likely)
South 1:Florida 2: Houston
This feels pretty straightforward at this point.

Agree with this. Purdue will take that 2 seed if they win tomorrow, otherwise it's Michigan State.
I think Houston likely has a better resume than Florida. Should probably be the final 1 seed
Disagree. I was in Milwaukee last year for the first round that had ISU, Kentucky, and Illinois and there were a TON of Illini fans there. They will show out in Chicago
Nate Silver likes the Cyclones and the draw.
Lendeborg tweaked his ankle in the loss to Purdue, and the Wolverines have scuffled a bit down the stretch, with their COOPER rating having fallen to 2231 from a very lofty peak of 2306. For now, we’re treating Lendeborg as having an ~80 percent chance to participate in the opening game — certainly, guys tend to play through that kind of thing in March, and he says he’ll be good to go. COOPER also considers the loss of Cason to be fairly problematic, though. The most fun matchup for Michigan might be against Alabama in the Sweet Sixteen, since both teams like to play at fast pace — you might see a winning score in the 100s. But the toughest test would be Iowa State, whom our composite ratings have as the 5th-best overall team.

I wouldn’t have guessed Iowa State has the fifth-best eFG% among the top 16 tournament teams
I choose the "Winner @ 4.1%, Alex".
Should be an easy way to make $1 into $24.39 with the courage of your convictions, @helechopper.
