March Madness bracket: South Region in NCAA men's tournament

[ASFN Admin]

The South Region of the NCAA Tournament is intriguing. It is the one where the top seed isn't seen as an odds-on favorite to advance. Florida got the last top seed in the bracket, but that doesn't mean the Gators are a lock to make the Final Four despite being the defending champs. They have seven losses, four against Top 25 teams. The second seed Houston has history going against it. For all the talent the Cougars have had through the years, they have never been able to seal the deal and win an NCAA championship. This should be a wild regional to follow and could break many brackets.
