Let’s look closer at the Jayhawks’ outlook for the NCAA Tournament. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has KU as a No. 8 seed in the South, set to play New Mexico. CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm projects KU as the No. 7 seed in the South, facing off against Georgia. (As a University of Georgia graduate, I’d love to see that matchup.)
Arizona jumped out to its first double-digit lead, 21-11, just eight minutes into the game when Love hit his first a 3-pointer. The Wildcats were shooting 57.1% from the field at that point while scoring nine points off five Utah turnovers.
