Not quite as upset-crazed as the first half of the matchups, but we still had a bit of a shocker (Patek over Nakamura and a battle that went all the way down to the wire (Owens over Horner).

With the #1 seed already out of the picture, I can't wait to see how the rest of this region plays out.

For now, however, we move on to the Bevacqua Region -- so named for the bubble-blowing champ of '70s lore.
