Bracket Breakdown: North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas give Midwest its blue bloods
Posted Mar 18, 2019
Three of the most storied programs college basketball history sit in the Midwest this year. North Carolina is the No. 1 seed. Kentucky is the No. 2 seed. Kansas is the No. 4 seed. And that’s not all. Because Houston is also in the Midwest, as is SEC tournament champion Auburn and Big 12 tournament champion Iowa State. This is the toughest region in the bracket.
