Three Point Range

We're now a week into the college basketball season, and we've seen some great games. Duke-Kentucky, Villanova-UCLA, Gonzaga-Texas, and more have lived up to the hype and given us a great first week of hoops. However, there have been a lot of great under the radar games, and I have some takeaways from those as well. So, I decided to highlight some of what I've watched in the first week of the season, and give my thoughts on some teams that you may have missed in the craziness of the first week. If you want more college basketball thoughts, be sure to follow me on Twitter @ThreePointRange where I'm constantly tweeting out thoughts on games I'm watching, and I'll have a ton of thoughts as we get into Feast Week. Without further ado, here are some things you may have missed in the first week of the college basketball season.  - I watched Iowa State play Oregon State, and I was very impressed by what I saw from Iowa State's freshman point guard Tyrese Hunter.

The last region I'm previewing is the East region. It's probably the most wide open, with Michigan suffering an injury to one of their star players, making them vulnerable. They also got a tough draw, with tons of dangerous teams lurking all over the bracket. Do I have them getting upset? Read on to find out. As always, follow me on Twitter @ThreePointRange for my thoughts on the tournament as it's happening, and click here  for all of my March Madness content. Enjoy the weekend. 1. Michigan vs 16. Texas Southern Line:  Michigan -26.5, o/u 142 Preview:  Texas Southern beat Mount St. Mary's in the opening First Four game, and earned the right to come take on Michigan. John Walker III, a Texas A&M transfer, had 19 points and 9 rebounds for the Tigers, and he'll have to do that again to win this one. Michael Weathers will also need to get going, as the leading scorer for Texas Southern struggled in the first game of the tournament, and he'll need a big one if t...

It was great to see NCAA Tournament basketball back last night, and boy was it fun. Both teams in this region that played last night were in close, exciting games, both being decided by just one point. If that's a sign of even half of what's to come this weekend, then we are in for a thrilling tournament. Anyways, here is my preview of the West region. The favorite heading into March, Gonzaga, headlines the region and they'll be looking to stay perfect, being the first team to do so since Indiana in 1975-76. There's also some other really good teams in this one, and some matchups I'm really excited about, so let's dive in. Also, be sure to follow me on Twitter @ThreePointRange to stay up to date with my thoughts throughout the tournament, and click here  to see all of my other previews, along with anything else you may want in terms of March Madness content from me. 1.

Up next is the South region, which features the Baylor Bears as the 1 seed, and some double digit seeds that should be scary to their opponents. It's one of the more interesting regions in my opinion, and, spoiler alert, I have a double digit seed advancing to the Sweet 16 here, so be sure to read on to see my reasoning for that. I should have both the East and West previews out tomorrow, hopefully before the action kicks off, but I'm waiting on the First Four games to be final to put the finishing touches on those two previews. Of course, be sure to follow me on Twitter @ThreePointRange to know when those articles come out and see my thoughts during the games tonight. If you want to see my previews for those games and what I'll be betting, you can do so here . We've finally made it to NCAA Tournament basketball, so enjoy it tonight. 1. Baylor vs  16.
