I saw NMSU in person when they played in Wichita this year. They have a lot of size, which could potentially give KU problems, but I don't believe they shoot the 3 extremely well and I see KU winning. KU, for some reason, has a reputation for choking in their first round games... which they haven't done since 2006. Somehow, Duke escapes that reputation, despite having it happen in 2 of the last 3 years. It might be a tough game for KU but I see them moving on the second round.

Good post. But KU has had some
close calls. If they get behind a slow ass team like that It could be bad.
The problem with KU is almost every time they lose to someone in the tournament it is to someone they shouldn't, regardless of the round. This year is no different. If they go out before getting buzz sawed by kentucky it will be some team they should have beat. Having almost all the tourneys save the 2008 one been let downs, it's easy to look at this team and see an upset. Particularly since we don't have the horses we normally do.
