My Super Sweet 16

1 Kansas vs. 12 Richmond, 7:15 PM ET, TBS

The Richmond Spiders won the battle of the potential Cinderellas last round against Morehead State. Now, as the lowest remaining seed in the tournament, they hope to add their name to tournament lore with an upset of the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks.

Starting Lineups
Kansas: Markieff Morris (F), Marcus Morris (F), Tyshawn Taylor (G), Brady Morningstar (G), Tyrel Reed (G)
 
Richmond: Dan Geriot (C), Kevin Smith (F), Justin Harper (F), Kevin Anderson (G), Darien Brothers (G)

Player to Watch: Kevin Anderson, G, Richmond
Anderson scored 25 against Vanderbilt in the opening round, none bigger than a jumpshot with only 19 seconds left to give the Spiders a three point lead. He had 14 points against Morehead State. He needs to lead Richmond if they hope to pull off the unthinkable.

In My Bracket: Kansas
I really hope Richmond can upset the Jayhawks, but I don't think that it's possible. Kansas has better rebounders, more prolific scorers, and more big game experience. Hope for a close one, but don't expect it.
