per CBS:

10. The South Regional’s 12-5 game will be lots of folks’ 12-5 upset

Minnesota is the 5-seed in the South. Middle Tennessee is the 12. But the Golden Gophers opened as just a 1-point favorite , which suggests Minnesota is over-seeded. And do you realize Middle Tennessee is only a win over Minnesota and a win over the Butler-Winthrop winner from playing in the Sweet 16 in Memphis? We could have Middle Tennessee in Memphis, Tennessee. And that would be cool for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is because Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis was raised in nearby Mississippi. He has friends and family in Memphis.

22. Richard Pitino is also in the field

The Minnesota coach, Rick’s son, is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time. His Gophers are 9-2 in their last 11 games. They’re the 5-seed in the South.

52. Minnesota-Middle Tennessee

Can the Blue Raiders upset a Big Ten team for the second straight year? Perhaps. But this won’t even be a big upset. The Golden Gophers are only 1-point favorites even though they’re a 5-seed playing a 12-seed.
