UCONN -2.5

man the right hand side of the bracket is so loaded compared to the left hand side of the bracket. UConn, Gonzaga, Texas, Miami (seeds going into the tourney of 6,10,13,20) compared to Kansas St, Florida Atlantic, San Diego St, and Creighton (seeds going into the tournament of 11,17,22,33).

Eh, I don't think it's too lopsided if you take away Texas in Texas factor. I just can't take sub 70 defenses very highly. It just sounds more lopsided because of name recognition.

Unless Miami can pull off an upset, UConn will have to go through the 2 best teams remaining to make the title game.

Yup, with the 2nd one being a road game feel just about. And quite possibly could have to face the 3rd best team left in the title game in Kansas St(if you go by pre-tourney seedings) or Creighton(if you go based on current KP) as well.

Media is making it sound like one side is full of juggernauts, while the other side is a motley crew of cinderellas. I agree that west/midwest side is stronger, but it's not so lopsided even looking at kenpom.

one side in KP has 1,5,6,26. Other side has 12,14,17,20. That's pretty lopsided I'd say.
