So what do we know about Kansas, especially the Kansas team that some say is limping into this post season?Â
We know that two super frosh led the team in the regular season, Center Joel Imbiib and Guard Andrew Wiggin. Imbiib's size and play in particular has raised NBA expectations with some saying he's a top 3 draft choice if he comes out this year. Unfortunately for Kansas their all everything center has been hurt and is expected to be out at least through the first two rounds of the tournament. In today's game that didn't really matter as Imbiib's back-ups more than made up for his lost production as Kansas outscored Eastern Kentucky by 35 in the paint. When the Jayhawks remembered their size advantage they dominated. When they shot jump shots they could only tread water. Going 0-7 from beyond the arc didn't help.
So, how should Stanford play Kentucky. Do we run with their guards or do we play a half court game? If stopping Wiggin is key to our chances who do we assign this task? Can Dwight, Nastic and Heustis slow down Imbiib's replacements?
What do our midwesterners who surely have seen Kansas play more than this West coast observer think about our chances?
