EAST Regional
Must-watch player: Josh Hart
The Villanova senior guard is efficient on both ends of the floor. He can score a triple-double and defend, all in one night. Hart is averaging 18.9 points and 3.1 assists, plus 1.6 steals a game.
Must-watch matchup: Wisconsin vs. Virginia Tech
The Badgers are surely bitter over an unexpected No. 8 seed. They better get over it or the Hokies, balanced offensively, will make it tough, even with the loss of Chris Clarke.
Calling it now: Duke over Troy
No, Duke isn't losing to Troy. In fact, the Blue Devils, suddenly hot, could escape this region unscathed. Most notable team in the way: defending national champion and top-seeded Villanova.
