Big 12 Player of the Year Devonte Graham leads the Kansas basketball team against Clemson Friday in NCAA Midwest Regional semifinals. The game set for Omaha’s Century Link Center will feature two teams with a few similarities. Clemson has senior leaders. The Jayhawks do too. Bill Self’s guys are led by a senior All American Graham and senior sharp shooter Svi Mykhailiuk. The Jayhawks also have a decided advantage in one key statistic.
Clemson exceeded expectations this season. Last fall, the Tigers were picked to finish in the bottom half of the 15 team Atlantic Coast Conference.
