March Madness: Video Breakdown Of NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Region

March Madness is officially upon us as the 2012 NCAA Tournament gets under way starting Tuesday with the First Four games, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to keep studying for the bracket pools everyone seems to be in around this time of year.

In fact, thanks to SB Nation's Youtube channel, the fans of basketball that don't like reading were given an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Midwest portion of this year's bracket when Nick Fasulo visited the SB Nation studios to chat with Matt Ufford about the North Carolina Tar Heels' regional on video.

Fasulo's analysis is likely spot on, considering the SB Nation Studios brought him in as an expert, so be weary of the Michigan Wolverines advancing too far and watch out for the underrated Georgetown Hoyas as you're filling out your numerous brackets.

Join our 2012 NCAA Bracket pool to compete against the best and brightest from around the network.
