NCAA Tournament Open Thread: UConn Huskies vs. Kansas, 7:45 p.m., CBS

The UConn Huskies have a chance to make a bold statement on national television tonight against No. 1 overall seed Kansas.

There are a lot of reasons UConn can't win tonight.

Kansas has won 15 straight heading into this game. The Jayhawks have absolutely wrecked the competition in the Big 12, sweeping Oklahoma (No. 7 KenPom) and Texas Tech (No. 52) while winning home games against West Virginia (No. 10) and Iowa State (No. 18) in a regular season series split.

They beat both Kansas State (No. 52) and Baylor (No. 28) three times and grabbed a second win over WVU in the conference tournament championship game.
