NCAA Tournament: West Region preview and predictions

The field is set and the NCAA Tournament is ready to begin.

After much hemming and hawing over where the Arizona Wildcats would be seeded, after a fantastic regular season, they decided to make it easy on everybody.

They defeated the equally-as-fantastic UCLA Bruins and Oregon Ducks on consecutive nights to set themselves apart from the pack and give the committee no choice but to give them the prime Pac-12 spot in the bracket — the 2-seed in the West region.

It’s been known for quite some time that the West region would be headlined by the Gonzaga Bulldogs, a 32-1 bully that sits in the top ten in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
