Well, I looked it up, and Kansas will not break the all-time record for easiest (on paper) path to the final four. The best they could hope for would be the 3rd-easiest path of all time, and the easiest in 7 years.
Michigan State holds the record for easiest path to the final four, set back in 2001. Before falling to Arizona in the final four, they defeated a 16 (Alabama State), 9 (Fresno State), 12 (Gonzaga), and 11 seed (Temple) We have 2 teams tied for 2nd-easiest path: The 1990 NCAA champion UNLV Running Rebels made it to the final four before winning it all by defeating a 16 (Ark. Little Rock), 8 (Ohio State), 12 (Ball State), and 11 seed (Loyola Marymount). North Carolina also had an easier time in 1991 before losing to Kansas in the final four by defeating a 16 (Northeastern), 9 (Villanova), 12 (Eastern Michigan), and 10 seed (Temple).

Anybody thinking Villanova is going to lay down and let us roll over them is crazy. Easy ? On the NCAA thread, there are so saying we have it soooo easy !
We have to bring it or else........ Time to let it roll baby, Rock Chalk !

Yep. KU should know it very well. Nothing in the NCAA tournament is easy. That is especially true when you are talking about playing in the 2nd weekend.

At least Villanova has a couple of wins versus high tournament seeds (Pitt and UConn; I refuse to give them Clemson because they did everything to lose that game)..... but they also went on a 5 game losing streak that would have been 7 had it not been for a 2 point win versus Seton Hall, and lost to Georgetown by 20 a couple of weeks ago. I'm not saying Villanova can't win or that it won't be a tough game or that the players don't have to show up. It's just that I'm much more nervous about future games (Sunday, for starters) than tonight. I'm looking ahead, but I hope the players aren't. |

It's been almost 2 minutes, it was time for Arthur to pick up a foul.

Villanova is stupid to try to trap Kansas. They have a have a lot of good ball handlers and they have shown the ability to handle presses and traps all year.

Missed Kaun wide open in the paint. Good thing Russell hit the 3 anyway.
