At least Kentucky is not in the East Region. That’s what I thought when the bracket rolled out with the East Region first, less than a minute into the Selection Show. The East is absolutely loaded, a who’s who of Kentucky’s enemies. Can Rick Pitino take down No. 1 overall seed Duke to avenge the 1992 loss to Duke? I sure hope so.
From brand names to Hall of Fame coaches and superstar freshmen, the East Region has it all. Duke leads the way, with Cam Boozer, the Sporting News’ National Player of the Year and projected top-three draft pick.
