The 2022 NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Region is loaded with great individual talents. Between Iowa’s Keegan Murray, Kansas’ Ochai Agbaji and Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis, three of the country’s top 30 scorers are in the midwest. All averaged about 20 points per game.
But while some of these players pack a punch, not many of their teams are as deep as No. 1 seed Kansas. The Jayhawks get over 10 points per game from four players and have others who can also go off when needed — senior guard Remy Martin came off the bench for 10 and 12, respectively, in the final two games of the Big 12 tourney.
No. 2 Auburn, led by freshman Jabari Smith, can also go to a number of different players. And they defend really well. But youth could prove to be a problem if they run up against a team like Kansas.
