The West and South regionals are high seeds and blue bloods. No. 4 Arkansas and no. 2 Duke; no. 2 Villanova and no. 5 Houston. The East and Midwest however have some unwashed double-digit seeds polluting their brackets. Shocking Saint Peters, seated 15th for goddsake, has somehow managed to sneak itself into a game against storied North Carolina, only an eight, the "Heels." In the Midwest the outlier is the Miami "Hurricanes", 10th, who will play the only top seed left, Kansas. (Miami's professional basketball team is "reeling", AP's word ("imploding" my le mot juste) after being outscored 38-15 in the 4th quarter last night in their third straight loss.) The West and South play today, the East and Midwest Sunday with the survivors advancing to the prestigious Final Four. Can't have a heart and not want Saint Peters to be there.
