As part of the nail-biting NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Midwest Regionals kick off after 12 teams have been knocked out during 2 intense rounds of the starting Midwest bracket. Beginning with the Semifinals, better known as the Sweet Sixteen, the 4 remaining teams in the Midwest battle it out to see which 2 will earn a place in the Elite Eight in hopes of making the coveted Final Four.
The Midwest Regionals are one of the most exciting events in college sports, when teams like Kentucky, Kansas, and Louisville have pulled off incredible victories to solidify their place in basketball history. 2018 is sure to be no different as fans flock to Nebraska to watch the competition at Omaha’s CenturyLink Center. Home to the Creighton Bluejays, the state-of-the-art arena has room for nearly 19,000 fans to take in all the thundering spectacle on the banks of the Missouri River. The venue is sure to fill up fast, so don’t wait long to get your tickets.
While there’s always a team that seems a shoo-in to win, it’s truly anyone’s game this year. Will a top-winning squad like Kentucky take another Midwest Regional championship? Or could a team like Gonzaga, who typically plays in the West, face off against a favorite such as Syracuse like they did in 2016? Grab your ticket to watch these squads duke as they vie for a spot in the Final Four at San Antonio’s Alamodome.
