March Madness bracket: Midwest Region in NCAA Men's Tournament

[ASFN Admin]

The Michigan Wolverines appeared to be one of the teams to fear in the NCAA Men's Tournament. Then, they lost to Purdue in the Big Ten tournament final. A mere hiccup, or could this be an ominous sign entering the Big Dance? One point to focus on is the success -- or more likely lack of it -- by many of the seeds against Top 25 teams. Michigan handled itself quite well, winning 9 of 11 such games. The rest of the region was not as good. Who is going to come out of this section?
