Rock Chalk Jayhawk, back to the sweet sixteen.

The Hawks made it back to the round of sixteen in the NCAA tournament tonight with a smothering defeat of 8th seeded UNLV.
It was close for awhile, but never in doubt. Now, Kansas will play either a 12 or 13 seed for the right to play either Wisconsin or Georgetown for a trip to the final four.

This is Bill Self's best team as a head coach, and although there are some fine players, there are no superstars. They are very unselfish, and it seems as if someone different every time they play shoulders the load for the team. To be sure, they have weaknesses, but if Bill Self is to get over the round of eight hump it will be this year. The tournament committee has done them a favor, by making them #1 in the midwest, and the pressing style of Georgetown, and Wisconsin has not given the Jayhawks trouble at all this year. In fact, their most impressive victories this year have come against that style of defense.

With any luck at all, they will be in the final four.

Plus Duke lost tonight, so it's already been a great weekend!
