Congratulations goes out to the University of Kansas for capturing the #1 seed in the Midwest region of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. U. of Kansas finished the regular season with a 32-2 record, a #1 overall AP ranking and Champions of the 2010 Big 12 Tournament. They will certainly be a force to reckon with during March Madness.
Check out how CBS Sports.com columnist Dennis Dodd broke down their chances of winning “The Big Dance”…
Why they’ll win it: Few teams have the combination Self has at his disposal — height in Cole Aldrich, gritty leadership in Sherron Collins, brawn in the Morris twins and a talented bench. Kansas shouldn’t be challenged until the Sweet 16.
Why they won’t: While a great leader, Collins is prone to streaky shooting. Going into Saturday’s Big 12 championship game, he was shooting only 39.6 percent in the previous four games. His overall shooting percentage this season has been the worst of his career.
If Collins coughs up a 3-for-11 shooting night with a bunch of turnovers, that could be it for Kansas. Everything has to click for Kansas’ most inspirational leader for six straight games because if he has one bad one, Collins potentially could drag down the Jayhawks.
Player to watch: Aldrich might be the best low-post defender in the country; however Self wants his big man to be more assertive around the basket. If Aldrich starts taking the ball to the hole, heaven help the bracket. No team will come within 10 points.
