I can't pull up ESPN on my phone, too much crap.

With Duke being the overall favorite for the national championship.

Closest region in number of votes for winner is the Midwest with Kentucky only being 3 votes behind North Carolina. Biggest margin of a region is the East with Duke at 24 and Michigan State at 4.
