Round 1 begins tomorrow!
Can the Huskies take down #4 Kansas?
I think they have a legitimate shot. This isn't the monstrous Kansas team the country has been accustomed to over the past couple decades. They're beatable and NU has a shot.
Let's go Huskies!!!
I'd love nothing more than the Huskies to knock off a blue blood. But I think the Jayhawks win a close one.
Definitely a chance, but I think Kansas's length will give Pusica and company enough trouble. NU takes a lot of 3's despite all the cutting they do, if they shoot well they win, if buckets are not falling (i.e. less than 40% from 3) they are in trouble. Definitely not an awful matchup. Kansas is also only a 6.5 point favorite so Vegas agrees
Yeah, I'll be pulling for them but realistically I don't think they'll hang a W.
Bill Self has an .818 winning % at Kansas. That's nuts.
Kansas won 87-53. It was the second biggest margin of defeat by a CAA team in the 68 NCAA Tournament games (including wins) played by CAA teams. In 1990, 3 seed Duke beat 14 seed Richmond 81-46.
Shooting 25% (I didnt look to see if it improved late in the game) will never get it done against Kansas. That was a very poor showing from a good NU squad.
