As last No. 1 seed left, Kansas now team to beat
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The Kansas Jayhawks are the only No. 1 seed left in the NCAA tournament, which automatically makes them the favorites to win it all.
Then again, the Jayhawks should still be around. This is a team that reached No. 1 in the country this season, and all they've had to play so far are teams seeded 16th, ninth and 12th.
And, get this: to reach the Final Four, all Kansas has to do is beat the lowest seed left in the field, No. 11 Virginia Commonwealth.
It's enough to make coach Bill Self wonder whether he has a team of destiny that catches all the breaks - or if this is some sort of elaborate setup.
History says it could be trouble, if not Sunday then next weekend in Houston.
