The south region of the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket features Kelvin Sampson's Houston Cougars, who dominated in the Big 12 and could get back to the Final 4 if they can get through a region that also includes a pair of college basketball blue bloods - Duke and Kentucky - as well as Marquette, Wisconsin, and Florida.

Meanwhile the midwest is where we will see if the Boilermakers of Purdue can pull a Virginia and win the national championship a year after losing to a 16 seed. They'll face a tough task with Tennessee, Creighton, and Gonzaga in the region - although the No. 4 seed in Kansas may struggle to advance thanks to an injury for Kevin McCullar, who will not play the rest of the season.

Will the Coogs be your Final 4 representative in the South? Can Creighton or Tennessee knock off Purdue? Will any trendy double-digit seeds, like Samford or James Madison, spoil the party?
