NCAA Bracket 2016: Midwest Region preview

1 of 6

Here’s everything you need to know for the NCAA Bracket’s Midwest Region.

The NCAA Bracket is finally set in stone after the Selection Sunday festivities set the entire country ablaze. Top seeds were revealed, brackets were filled out and Cinderellas were dubbed, but we’re here to focus on one region, and one region only: the Midwest.

The bottom right corner of the bracket is devoted to this underrated region and many might even call the Midwest the weakest, but we know better. Sure, it’s not as balanced and loaded as the others, but it might just have the strongest No. 1 and No. 2 seed duo in the NCAA Tournament field.

Still unsure of who the top seeds in the bracket are? Stop living under a rock and check it out, but we are here to help you with everything else you need to know about the Midwest Region.

March Madness this season is expected to be just as crazy as any in recent memory because of the overall wide open field and fact that there’s really not one clear favorite to win it all.

Many have dubbed Michigan State, North Carolina, Kansas and even Oklahoma favorites to make the Final Four, but there’s going to be a heck of a lot of debate in the coming weeks, especially after all the first-round upsets play out this coming weekend.

Do you see a lot of upsets taking place? If there was ever a year in which a No. 1 seed could go down to a No. 16, this might just be it. Highly unlikely, almost impossible, but it could happen, but doubtful it takes place in the Midwest.

Let’s take a look at everything else you need to know about the Midwest Region.
