I agree that if seedings hold, OSU or Georgetown would be a very tough matchup and MSU could be tough as well. Izzo's teams seem to do well in the tourney.

Evan Turner with Ohio State will be one to watch -- can he be the next Carmelo Anthony?
Georgia Tech didn't get much respect as a 10 seed but I think they're finally "getting it" as evinced by the number of shots Favours and Lawal are taking.
But Kansas is too strong and should win this region.
I was a bit surprised to see Marlyand get a 4 seed as well and would pick MSU ahead of them. I don't think I would want to see Tech as a 10 see either. If they keep getting the ball inside and Favors plays like he did in the ACC tournament, they could be a tough out.
