2013 West Regional Preview:
The 2013 West Regional will send the tourney through the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Though the tournament favors the top 5 seeds, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Kansas State found out that the west is full of potential heart breaks. #12 Ole Miss rebelled their way through the SEC tournament and proved their SEC crown was no fluke as they powered through #5 Wisconsin in the second round. LaSalle made it through the First Four to take the #13 seed where many mistakenly thought they would meet their demise against K-State. In their first NCAA Tournament win ever, #14 Harvard sent the #3 Lobos packing early in a truly remarkable upset. The West kicked off the madness with multiple upsets leaving the rest of the Los Angeles tournament in an unpredictable state.
