The Tigers will travel to Omaha, NE, just three hours north of Lawrence, KS to face the Kansas Jayhawks. They’ve made the Final Four more times (14) than we’ve made the NCAA tournament. Outside the ACC, only Kentucky (and formerly UCLA, but they’ve faded) could claim to be quite as prolific as the Kansas basketball program.
This year they’ve been slightly less prolific, accruing 7 losses prior to the NCAA tournament after consecutive seasons with only 4. Nevertheless, they rank 9th in KenPom and won the Big 12 regular season title for the 14th consecutive year.
They’re calling card is their offense, which is 5th in offensive efficiency.
