For what it's worth, here is my Sweet 16:

SOUTH-Virginia, Arizona, Tennessee, Cincinnatti

WEST-Xavier, Gonzaga, Michigan, N. Carolina

EAST-Villanova, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Purdue

MIDWEST-Kansas, New Mexico State, Michigan State, Duke

Elite Eight:

Arizona, Cincinnatti, Gonzaga, Michigan, Villanova, Purdue, Kansas, Michigan State

Final Four:

Arizona, Gonzaga, Villanova, Michigan State

Champion:

Gonzaga over Villanova by a score of 73-70    

My original bracket had Virginia going to the Final Four, but using the same rationale regarding the Cavaliers' injured player, I replaced Virginia with Arizona...a perfect example of overthinking a situation.

Arizona was the most overrated team in the tournament..

I still believe that changing my pick of Virginia going to the Final Four was the right one, but obviously Arizona was not a good choice for Plan B.  Kentucky  probably will prove itself to be the proper substitute, but if Buffalo equals the effort they put forth against Arizona, Kentucky will have all it can handle.  The Bulls were extremely impressive!
