Something is clearly amiss with the team right now. We don’t see the typical KU toughness and poise, esp. in late game situations and hostile environments. There doesn’t seem to be the fire and passion we are used to seeing - no real leadership. I hate to say it, but this team seems…just soft…
On the other hand, we are the only team in the country who has beaten 3 of the top 4-6 teams in the country. Tennessee could end up as a 1 seed, which would mean we’ve already beaten 3 of the 4 #1 seeds. But, we’ve also lost to not very good teams and struggled to put away bad ones.
A first round exit would not be a surprise, nor would getting to the Elite 8. Just really difficult to see this team putting together a multi-game run against better competition at this point…
