My best guess (bracket)

[stormspencer]

My top 5 seeds in each region:
Midwest: Kansas, Nova, Utah, Indiana, Seton Hall
East: UNC, West Virginia, Kentucky, Purdue, Cal
South: Michigan State, Virginia, Xavier, A*M, Arizona
West: Oregon, Oklahoma, Miami, Duke, Maryland

Other Big 12 teams (seeds)
Iowa State - 6
Baylor - 6
Texas - 7
Tech - 10

That's my best guess.

I would like that seeding for OU & MSU, would hate it as a KU fan, that Midwest is loaded!

Yep....and that is the biggest challenge with bracketing. You really have to work to spread teams out in order to avoid two high-seeded teams (from the same conference) playing each other too soon. And I only went down through the top 5 seeds. It would take me several hours to get through all of the teams/seeding while obeying all of the bracket rules.

You're right about spreading the conferences out. It seems every year there is one region that is loaded. It is amazing how the tourney is about matchups, the style of some teams match up better against certain teams.

Your top two seeds follow Palm for each region.

Lunardi has UVA instead of UO as a #1 seed, and he has OU with UVA in the South.

Even though Oregon is hot, I'd much prefer what you and Palm have for OU's region over Lunardi's. Having to play ND, then UK, then UVA looks tougher than the Zags, Purdue/BU, and UO/A&M.
