Kansas’ players celebrate on the court after defeating Memphis 75-68 in overtime. The Jayhawks scored the first six points in the extra stanza en route to their third national championship and first since 1988. ~ USA Today

I was excited to see my state neighbor to the south win the NCAA tournament title. Too bad, I didn’t win any money from my Kiwanis donation playing the Basketball Sweeps. But I did sell the winning ticket, so I’m hoping the winner will buy me a drink with their $400 winnings!

So now there’s a mad dash to get Kansas Jayhawk gear! Here’s my recommendations…

65 teams are now down to 16 after the 1st 2 rounds of the 2007 NCAA Basketball Tournament.  No double digit seed has made it this far, but there are some feel-good schools worth rooting for.  Over the next 4 days, we here at Sport will take a look at each bracket. 

Up first:  West Regional - San Jose

 vs 

#1 Kansas vs #4 Southern Illinois - Kansas is on a 13 game win streak, including an overtime win over Texas in the Big 12 conference tournament.  The Jayhawks are shooting over 55% from the field in the first two games of the NCAA tourney, including a 12 pt win over Kentucky (what in the name of Adolph Rupp is going on in Lexington?).  The Salukis are the strongest of the mid-major teams and if the defense can slow the KU guards, they have a chance.  Take the Jayhawks.

  vs   

#3 Pittsburgh vs #2 UCLA - Both teams won their first 2 games of the tourney, but neither are standing out.  Pitt has gone 3-3 in their last 6 games before the NCAA’s, including a 23 pt loss to Georgetown in the Big East tourney finals.  UCLA dropped its last 2 games, including a first round in the Pac 10 tourney to California.  When in doubt, go with the team who’s been there before.  Go with the Bruins in this one.
