Illinois (20 in KenPom) and UNLV (22 in KenPom) isn't the easiest 2nd round game for KU. At least compared to Duke's (Michigan, 40, and Tennessee, 55).
Notre Dame isn't a great #2 seed. Purdue and Louisville are very good #3/#4 seeds.
It's not the easiest bracket, but if they get by that 2nd round game as they should, it's not like they're going to be playing a team as good as Texas until the FF.
