WTF? SIU is getting more than Kentucky was? Too many points for a team that plays as good defensively as SIU does.

S.Illinois.. I need Kansas to win for my brackets sake but IF i make a play on this game it will be with the Saluki's

Kansas I feel is one of the most athletic teams in the tourney, very much like Florida of last year. While S Ill plays strong D, in this tournament they have shown against stiffer competition that they can be out rebounded. Kansas can also hit the 3 and keep stride as well as defend the three. Assist to turnover ratio also leans to Kansas. Shaw's injury may prove large as well.

All that being said, when Kansas has played tough oppenents they have let them stay in the game (twice with Texas, @Okl, and on a neutral floor with Kan St).

How does this Kansas team compare to the level of comepetition S Ill has faced?

The number looks high, have to see public beating (I will assume towards S Ill with the big number).

I think Kansas as part of a three team tease looks good.

S. Ill won't be able to slow the game down after KU jumps out to a lead. They will have to start pressing the ball up and down the court to try and catch up and that plays right into KU's hands. KU by 20+
