You know, I was wrong last week. I said KU couldn't play any worse than that and still win. Well they just did. The defense was pretty good (apart from allowing 20 ****ing offensive rebounds), but nobody could make a shot outside five feet and they collapsed in a huge way down the stretch. That game was like facing a worse version of KSU and KU couldn't handle the toughness of it at all.
In any case, they won and I suppose that's all that really matters in this crapshoot of a tournament. They've also now played to their seed. The pressure should be off going forward. I think it also helps that UNC won the previous game, even though they are vastly superior to Ohio. Hopefully they'll go out against a team that they may view as equals and actually start playing to their potential now. We know they can win ugly, but they haven't played a good game in this entire tournament yet.
