Here are the other two regions, the Southeast and Southwest
SOUTHWEST REGION
# 1 Kansas - The Jayhawks start and play two white guards in Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed, both who have a knack for knocking down important shots for the Jayhawks. Kansas is powered inside by the Morris twins, so Morningstar and Reed need have good games on the outside to keep teams honest. Kansas is considered one of the favorites in the tournament, and they should get started nicely against Boston U.
# 16 Boston U. - This racist team has exactly zero white starters. Well, they would've had one, but it looks like he's been out for quite awhile. One white man gets playing time for the Terriers, and that is guard Matt Griffin. The other 3 whites on the roster are usually decorations at the end of the bench. I hope they enjoyed the flight, because they're going home pretty quick.
# 8 UNLV - Only one white even logs any meaningful minutes for the Runnin' Rebels this year. Their biggest guys aren't the best players and come off the bench, which means Mike Tisdale and the Illini frontcourt could have a big day against this team.
# 9 Illinois - The inconsistent Fighting Illini start two whites, and two more come off the bench for Bruce Weber's club. 7-1 senior center Mike Tisdale has been a good player this year. The athletic Tisdale is third on the team in scoring and 2nd on the team in rebounds. He is also far and away the Illini's best shot blocker with 52 this year. Sometimes joining Tisdale in the starting lineup is foward Bill Cole, who is also very lengthy at 6-9, and is a pretty good athlete. Another 7 foot center comes off the bench in freshman Meyers Leonard, who I think has improved a lot this year when he plays, which is around 8.5 mpg. He'd get more time if it wasn't for Tisdale. The fourth white player is also a forward, Tyler Griffey, who sees around 5 minutes in the games he plays. The Illini frontcourt should love their matchup with UNLV.
# 5 Vanderbilt - The Commodores are back in the dance again this year. Dynamic point guard Brad Tinsley is one of the team's leaders, along with Austin Jenkins, and Tinsley is their only white starter. He is of course way more athletic than he is given credit for. He makes some great passes, and has enough hops to dunk the ball. Tinsley is the only white man on the Commodores who gets any minutes at all. This team has been pretty inconsistent this year, so depending on what team shows up will determine how far the Commodores go in the Big Dance this year.
# 12 Richmond - There is only one white starter for the Spiders, 6-9 senior Dan Geriot. He actually gets the ball a little bit, averaging 10 ppg. The only other white player who sees any time on a regular basis for the Spiders is 6-11 Aussie G/F Josh Duinker.
# 4 Louisville - After a strong finish in the Big East Tourney, the Cards are ready to make run in the Big Dance. Louisville is exciting to watch, as they play an up-tempo offense and a pressure, trapping defense. The Cardinals have two white starters, the explosive Kyle Kuric at Small Forward, and part time starter Stephan Van Treese at Power Forward, who has started about 1/2 of Louisville's games. Kyle Kuric is one of the most athletic players in the entire Big East. He rebounds like a beast, and he can drive the ball to the hoop, and knock down the three, a complete player. Van Treese doesn't see the ball very much, but when he does, he can finish with it. Two whites come off the bench for Louisville, one is sharpshooter Mike Marra, the Card's deadliest three point sniper. When he's on, Marra can't miss from three, and he can also take it to the hole at times if the three isn't there. The other is Elisha Justice, a white walk-on also gets some time in the game as a backup Point Guard. Louisville has the pieces to make a great tourney run, and it would help them if guard Peyton Siva stays out of foul trouble and Preston Knowles plays well.
# 13 Morehead State - Only three white players on the roster for the Eagles, but one of them starts, and the other comes off the bench for some good minutes. Junior guard Ty Proffit has started all of the Eagle's 33 games this year, he averages 32 minutes per game, and 8 ppg. Forward Drew Kelly comes off the bench, and averages around 20 mpg, and has even started 13 games for the Eagles this year. Morehead State could be one of those cinderella teams this year that make it to the Sweet 16.
# 6 Georgetown - They're an all black team, with the exception of freshman power forward Nate Lubik, who barely ever gets the ball on offense. Georgetown lost it's floor leader, point guard Chris Wright, and they've been struggling without him on the floor. Guard Austin Freeman and center Julian Wright are the Hoya's two best players without Wright. I hope they lose in the 1st round, as I do every year.
# 11 VCU - There isn't a white man good enough to even sit on the bench for these racists. They play a press, trapping defense, which will keep them in a game for awhile, but I think Georgetown will eventually pull away from these guys.
# 3 Purdue - The Boilermakers start two whites in 3 point shooters Ryne Smith, and D.J. Byrd. Big man Patrick Carrol also comes into the game for Purdue. When Smith gets hot, he can't miss. But this is JaJuan Johnson's and Etwaun Moore's team, and how they do will determine how far Purdue gets.
# 14 St. Peter's - A small all black team that has no player worthy to be on the same court as Purdue.
# 7 Texas A&M - Only one white contributor to the team, starting forward Nathan Walkup. They'll be at a size disadvantage when they play the Seminoles.
# 10 Florida State - The Seminoles give playing time to three white players, even letting one of them start. That would be guard Deividas Dulkys, who is an excellent jumpshooter. He's add his games, but Dulkys hasn't been real consistent this year. Bringing some size into the Seminole lineup off the bench is 7-0 F/C Jon Kreft. Guard Luke Loucks also comes off the bench for FSU. With their size advantage, this should be a win for Florida State, but you never know.
# 2 Notre Dame - After losing in the first round last year, the Fighting Irish have the talent to make a Final Four run this year. Notre Dame has three white starters, led by Big East POY Ben Hansbrough, who's played 35 minutes per game, and averages nearly 21 ppg. Hansbrough is a fierce competitor and a great athlete, as well as the team leader. He can also play either guard spot, and when "Psycho B" is on, no one's gonna stop him. Also starting is forward Tim Abromaitis, who average 15 ppg and 5.4 rpg. The athletic Abromaitis is a complete player for the Irish, able to work in the point, or knock down the three when he wants. The third white starter for the Irish is forward Scott Martin, who is a pretty good athlete, and can do pretty much anything. Off the bench comes F/C Jack Cooley, who is a beast on the boards.
# 15 Akron - I watched Akron for about 5 minutes at the start of the MAC Championship game, and I know they have 3 white starters, and are a very fearless team. It'll be interesting to see how they play against Notre Dame.
SOUTHEAST REGION
# 1 Pittsburgh - Another all black racist team from the Big East. They're a talented team, and are a threat to cut the nets down in March. How they do will depend on the health of guard Ashton Gibbs. Guard Brad Wanamaker is Pitts' best player besides Gibbs. These guys should make it past the 1st round with ease.
# 16 UNC-Asheville - Asheville has a great player in Matt Dickey, but he won't be enough against a loaded Pitt. squad.
# 8 Butler - The Big Dance runner up returns to the tournament this year hitting their stride. They struggled early on in the year as they tried to replace Gordan Hayward, but they've got their chemistry back now, and are a dangerous tourney team this year. Butler has three white starters this year, All-Conference forward, 6-8 senior Matt Howard, whose averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds, long and athletic center Andrew Smith, who is a beast on the boards, and guard Chase Stigall, who can stroke it from deep. Two white subs come off the bench for Butler's nine man rotation in sharpshooter Zach Hahn, and forward Garrett Butcher. Howard is the team's best player, he'll be working in the paint one possession, and then pull up from three on the next. Butler may not make the Final Four like last year, but as long as Howard and Shelvin Mack play well, they'll clertainly be a dangerous team again this year.
# 9 Old Dominion - The Monarchs have an all black starting lineup, and in fact, only one white player sees any meaningful time for them at all. Another has played in all of around 3-4 games this year. These are ODUs only two white men on the roster.
# 5 Kansas State - The team has really been inconsistent, this year, but they looked to have turned it on over the last part of the season. However, only one white player sees the court for Frank Martin's racist squad. That player is the 6-3 true frosh Point Guard Will Spradling, who does play 21 minutes per game. Since he is the point guard, his black teammates can't keep the ball away from him when he's in the game. He's 2nd on the team this year with 62 assists, and 5th in scoring with 6.3 PPG. Despite Spradling, I'm still rooting for this team to go down within the 1st two rounds.
# 12 Utah State - The WAC Champs are dancing again this year. Utah State starts two white players and uses four white players in their norarmal 7 man rotation. The two white players that start are forward Nate Bendall and guard Tyler Newbold. Two white players come off the bench, guard Brian Green and forward Brady Jardine. Brian Green is third on the team in scoring with nearly 11 ppg. Brady Jardine is second on the team in rebounding. If Utah State hangs with Kansas State for the first part of the game, the Aggies have a great shot to pull the upset.
# 4 Wisconsin - The Badgers start four white players, including athletic forward Jon Leuer. Leuer is one of the better players in the country at his position, and he keys Wisconisn's defense. Keaton Nankivil joins Leuer in the frontcourt for the Badgers. Freshman Josh Gasser, who made a 3 point shot to win the Michigan game, starts at guard for the Badgers. Mike Bruesewitz and Tim Jarmusz rotate the starting spot at forward. Jared Berggren comes off the bench for Wisconsin. If the Badgers can get past Belmont, they can make it to the Sweet 16.
# 13 Belmont - A fearless team out of the Atlantic Sun Conference that lives on the 3-point shot. Belmont starts four white players, and uses 7 white players in it's 11-man rotation. Belmont is shooting 38% from three this year, and make 9.4 3's per game, good for 2nd in the country. F/C Mick Hedgepeth brings some size to the floor for Belmont, and is one of their biggest guys. Guards Drew Hanlen and G/F Jon House are two more white starters for the Bruins. The last white starter is either forward Brandon Baker or Trevor Noack. Three white atheletes average over 10mpg off of the bench. It wouldn't be a surprise to see this quick paced, 3-point shooting squad knock off the slower-paced Wisconsin Badgers in the first round.
# 6 St. John's - St. John's has had a nice resurgance this year, getting back in the tourney after being down for a couple of years. St. John's is an all-black team, with only one white player on the roster. They were a dangerous team at Madison Square Garden this year, where they've blown out Duke, Notre Dame, and UConn, plus they've beat Pitt on a buzzer beater, but they're a different story away from New York, though. The loss of forward D.J. Kennedy will hurt this team in the tournament.
# 11 Gonzaga - Gonzaga is dancing for the 13th year in a row, winning both the WCC Season title, and the WCC Tourney over the St. Mary's Gaels. Gonzaga starts no white players at all this year. David Stockton, John's son, who is arguably the Zag's best player, comes off the bench for the Bulldogs. He plays great defense, makes crisp passes, and can drive the ball or shoot the three. Gonzaga's other white players who should get minutes are Kelly Olynk, German Mathis Monninghoff, and guard Jon Hart. The Zags could be dangerous this March - if they let Stockton play over the overrated Demitri Goodson. Stockon keeps the Zags in every game when he's in, and he makes them a dangerous team.
# 3 BYU - The Cougars are led by superman guard Jimmer Fredette. Fredette has unbelievable moves and shots, and leads the nation in scoring at around 27 ppg. Joining him in the backcourt is Jackson Emery. Emery is a great passer, and commits nearly no turnovers most of the team. He is very athletic, and can dunk the ball. Noah Hartsock starts at forward for BYU. Hartsock is a very versitale player that can play inside, and he is a good shooter beyond the arc as well. Stephen Rodgers and Ben Anderson have been each been starting as they try to find a replacement for leading rebounder Brandon Davies. BYU hasn't looked like the same team since Davies was suspended, and it looks like BYU will need Super Jimmer to have a shot at a deep Tournament run this year.
# 14 Wofford - The Terriers are powered by senior forward Noah Dahlman, who leads the team in scoring at 20 ppg. Dahlman is an athletic player that will give BYU some trouble in their game. Joining Dahlman is junior guard Brad Loesing. Guard Kevin Glitner comes off the bench for the Terriers; he plays nearly 22 minutes per game. It'll be interesting to see how this team plays the Cougars today.
# 7 UCLA - The Bruins have only one white starter, but he is a beast. That is forward Reeves Nelson. Nelson is an absolute monster in the paint, and he nearly averages a double double this year. The only other white player who gets any minutes is sophomore forward Brendan Lane. UCLA has been really inconsistent this year, but they're playing an inconsistent team in Michigan State, so anything can happen.
# 10 Michigan State - Tom Izzo's Spartans are back in the Big Dance after a less than great year. Michigan State does have two white starters in senior walk-on guard Mike Kebler, and sophomore center Garrick Sherman. However, they rarely see very many shot attempts. Kalin Lucas, Delvon Roe, and Durrell Summers usually take all of the shots. White guard Austin Thornton usually doesn't see more than 4 or 5 shot attempts. Michigan State usually overachieves in NCAA Tournaments, so they'll probably get through the second round.
# 2 Florida - The Gators are back dancing this year due to the play of the team's best athlete and leader, senior foward Chandler Parsons. Parsons can do a bit of everything for the Gators, including playing in the post, and knocking down threes from the perimeter. Parsons plays some good defense too. He has nailed many tough shots for the Gators over the course of his career. Parsons is Florida's only white starter. The only other white man that gets minutes for the Gators is F/C Erik Murphy, who doesn't see the ball a whole lot, or a lot of playing time for that matter. So much for the Gators being "a mecca for white players." The Gators do have the talent to get to the Sweet 16 this year.
# 15 UCSB - These guys should be happy to be in the Tourney.
