Rush the Court is providing comprehensive coverage of the NCAA Tournament from start to finish over the next three weeks.

New Favorite: #1 Gonzaga (34-1). If the Zags were the West region favorite before play started last Thursday, there’s no reason they shouldn’t continue to maintain that status. Sure, there were slow points in each of Gonzaga’s two victories over the weekend — namely, the first half against South Dakota State and the second half versus Northwestern – but Mark Few‘s team ultimately emerged from each unscathed. With West Virginia and possibly Arizona awaiting in San Jose, the road stiffens from here, but [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/21/ncaa-regional-reset-west-region-7/feed/ 0 NCAA Regional Reset: South Region http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/21/ncaa-regional-reset-south-region-6/ http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/21/ncaa-regional-reset-south-region-6/#respond Tue, 21 Mar 2017 18:25:01 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=128016

New Favorite: #1 North Carolina (29-7). The Tar Heels might have actually had the most unimpressive opening weekend of the four teams remaining in the South, as they needed a kind late whistle to escape #8 Arkansas on Sunday. However, the region’s #1 seed retains its status as a Final Four favorite in large part because of the draw. Butler posted a pair of workmanlike victories in dispatching #13 Winthrop and #12 Middle Tennessee State last weekend, but the Bulldogs’ road [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/21/ncaa-regional-reset-south-region-6/feed/ 0 NCAA Regional Reset: East Region http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-east-region-6/ http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-east-region-6/#respond Mon, 20 Mar 2017 20:31:05 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=127993

New Favorite: #4 Florida (26-8). Florida’s 65-39 drubbing of #5 Virginia on Saturday should put the rest of the remaining field on notice— the Gators are really, really difficult to score against. Mike White’s aggressive group held to Cavaliers to a paltry 0.65 points per possession, limiting its ACC foe to just 1-of-15 shooting from behind the arc and preventing any Virginia player from reaching double figures. Wisconsin, which is somewhat similar to Virginia stylistically, could be in for a rude [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-east-region-6/feed/ 0 NCAA Regional Reset: Midwest Region http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-midwest-region-5/ http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-midwest-region-5/#respond Mon, 20 Mar 2017 20:04:47 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=127962

New Favorite: #1 Kansas (30-4). Despite receiving a 30-minute test from #9 Michigan State on Sunday, Kansas remains the favorite to win the Midwest Region. The Jayhawks smashed #16 UC Davis 100-62 before dominating the last 10 minutes against the Spartans in the Round of 32 — a hard-fought victory that should prepare them well for an even stronger Big Ten opponent, #4 Purdue, on Thursday. If you buy into advanced metrics, this appears to be a fairly even matchup: Kansas [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2017/03/20/ncaa-regional-reset-midwest-region-5/feed/ 0
