So Jayhawk fans... we got there. Are you satisfied? Are you happy that we made it for the first time since Kirk Hinrich and crew? First time sine Roy? I am very excited that we are going to be a part of the greatest FF in history. The talent we are going to see on the floor in San Antonio is going to be one for the ages. Our matchup with North Carolina and the boys in baby blue will be amazing. How do you see the game taking shape? Can our bigs keep Tyler under control? Can we slow down Ty and the rest of the athletes on Carolina? I will be honest, I am nervous! I think however, this is our best matchup in the FF. I am glad that we don't have to play both UCLA and Memphis... or UCLA and UNC. I think we are going to play UNC close. I think we are going to play the best we have played all year. The pressure is off this team. They got Coach Self to his first FF. UNC is the favorite and we are not the team to beat in this tournament. I think we are actually considered the weakest team left... and I like it. For once, we are not the favorite... like we were against Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony. I think the Jayhawks will respond and play amazing. Looking at the matchup.. .I think our advantage is going to be Mario Chalmers. He is the guy that I feel comfortable with in big games. I think Russ and Sherron have their hands full with containing Ty and I think Mario will get a lot of open shots against the questionsable 'd' of UNC. Hopefully our shots will fall (didn't in the Davidson game) and we win by a nose.
What are your thoughts?
