Previewing the West Region

The West Region for the NCAA Tourney features the Kansas Jayhawks and is largely considered the toughest of the regions this season that sees the UCLA Bruins, Gonzaga Bulldogs, and the UCONN Huskies as the other top seeds. What makes this region tough is there are some really solid teams up and down the region that could provide some difficult matchup problems for the higher seeds.
