NCAA Tournament Southwest Region breakdown

As draws go, Kansas could have done worse. No disrespect to Notre Dame, Purdue, Louisville or Vanderbilt, but the Jayhawks look like the overwhelming favorite to win the Southwest, and not only because that's what the chalk is telling us. It's also because the matchups say so. Kansas, with its bevy of experienced guards and its balanced and versatile frontcourt, has the chops to handle any team in this region, especially on its side of the bracket.
