There is plenty of Big 12 flavor in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament. Big 12 Tournament champ Iowa State is the fifth seed in the region while Oklahoma State earned an at-large bid and will face Big Ten Tournament champion Michigan as the No. The four teams advancing to the regional semifinals will meet at Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City, where the Big 12 just wrapped up its tournament. And you can bet local fans, restaurants, hotels and bar owners are salivating at the idea of Kansas and Iowa State meeting there. 1 overall seed before losing to TCU in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.
