Media aglow about Kansas after tourney-opening romp
No, it's not all irrelevant, but there's reason to ask how much of it is real and lasting after Kansas absolutely smashed Northeastern 87-53 to open up its NCAA Tournament, marking the 13th consecutive year the Jayhawks have advanced past the first round in March Madness. Dedric Lawson was, well, Dedric Lawson, giving Kansas a huge advantage inside while also helping by stepping away from the basket and making some jumpers. And Kansas as a team relentlessly attacked the basket, using its athleticism and quickness to get into the paint, and to the rim at will.
