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

The 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket was put together pretty well, according to most of the country’s bracketologists, but that doesn’t mean upsets won’t happen in March Madness ... because, of course upsets will happen in the Big Dance.

For those wondering where the upsets are going to happen, the experts at SB Nation's headquarters -- Matt Ufford and Searching For Billy Edelin's Nick Fasulo -- answered that question in their video breakdown of the Michigan State Spartans-headlined West Region.

Fasulo brings excellent analysis as always, but predicting the Memphis Tigers to make it out of a very difficult region as the No. 8 seed was definitely going out on a limb. In a section of the bracket that also includes the Missouri Tigers and Florida Gators, however, there's bound to be some exciting games happening in the West Region.

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