Round II - Sunday Update

Well, it’s Sunday night and the best weekend in sports has wrapped. Kansas topping Kentucky has made for a great 2007 season for the Jayhawks. We won two conference championships, pushing the school past Kentucky for the most conference championships at 51 titles, and a Sweet 16 birth to boot. After enduring two years of first round exits, I can’t help but look at any more wins from here on out as whipped cream and cherries.

If South Illinois can slow us down with their tough defense and hit a bunch of threes to knock us off, so be it. It will be disappointing not to see KU play UCLA or play Florida in the Final Four—which would rank up there with KU vs Maryland in the 2002 semis as two loaded teams playing on a high level dueling it out on the biggest stage. What a ride that would be, eh? Only one way to top off that would be to meet Roy and the Tarheels in the Championship game to become the first school in the modern era to face all of the highest potential seeds in each round on the way to cutting down the nets. Just dreaming here at the end of a basketball soaked week.

Sometime during the week I’ll post "Who-Picked-Who" to go to the Final Four plus Championship picks.

Jim and Bev picked Southern California and UNLV to the Sweet 16. Very nice indeed! Liam, Stoph and Butter got the UNLV pick plus Victoria got USC. Everyone else came up empty in those pods.
