'Midwest Regional Primer: Overall No. 1 Kansas will be tested'

BRACKETBUSTER: San Diego State

No. 11 seed San Diego State is coming off a Mountain West tournament title, beating UNLV on its home floor after taking down New Mexico for the second time this season in the semis. SDSU has the athletes to make life very difficult for both Tennessee and likely second-round opponent Georgetown.

The Aztecs actually had the same scoring margin (+0.11 points per possession) as the Lobos in league play. Billy White is a very efficient scorer and freshman Kawhi Leonard is a rebounding savant. They are top-40ish nationally in both efficiency categories, hit the offensive glass like fiends and both shoot and defend well inside the arc. Just don't let the game come down to free throws ...

and...

JUICIEST MATCHUP: Tennessee vs. San Diego State

It should be a full-court, up-tempo, entertaining game that could very well end in a late-night upset in Providence. Kenpom.com projects a one-point Tennessee win. West Coast teams usually struggle coming all the way East, but the estimated 9:45 p.m. start time basically replicates a normal game time for the Aztecs. They should be ready.

If seeds hold, there could be a monster Sweet 16 showdown between Ohio State and Georgetown.

They don't do any research.

We haven't run an up tempo offense all year and I've read that San Diego St. likes to slow the game down also.
