They tend to turn the ball over and their shooting is inconsistent.
If we shoot well we can win the whole thing, but if we play one of those games were we can't hit shit then we can lose to just about anyone. Reality.

That's reality for just about everyone. And in KU's case, their players have a history of playing and winning in close, ugly, defensive games (and in the tournament, too). I haven't filled out a bracket yet, but I don't see any reason I would really pick against KU before at least the E8 (and I probably won't pick against them at all). They're fully capable of beating anybody in the country at their best and they're also capable of winning the grinders when they're not at their best. The team's composition/style is very similar to last year's team and that team made the NC on basically defense alone.
Sure they could lose early as anybody can in this crapshoot of a tournament if somebody gets hot, but why pick against them (especially if you're a KU fan)? It's not like anybody is better. And one would hope/think complacency/laziness (the team's biggest issue in their bad games) would cease to be an issue at this point.
