Why are Kansas and Michigan State in the East Region? Why are Purdue (in Indiana) and Arkansas in the West Region? Why are Virginia and Alabama in the Midwest Region? Why are Illinois and Nebraska in the South Region?
Admittedly, I don’t know much about college basketball but I think I have a pretty solid knowledge of geography.
