1 Kansas vs 16 Boston 6:50 PM ET, TBS
Boston will be looking to be the first 16th seed to upset a number one seed in history. The Terriers who haven’t been in the NCAA tournament since 2002, hold the nation’s third-longest active winning streak at 11 and will look to extend that streak to 12 today.
Starting lineups
Kansas: Marcus Morris F, Markieff Morris F, Brady Morningstar G, Tyrel Reed, G, Tyshawn Taylor, G
Boston: John Holland G-F, Patrick Hazel F, Darryl Partin G, D.J. Irving G, Dom Morris F
Player to Watch: John Holland, G-F, Boston
If Boston has any shot of upsetting Kansas it will need Holland to be a force like he has all season. The senior leads the American East Conference in scoring with 19.2 ppg and recently received the Player of the Year award for the conference.
In my bracket: Kansas
Kansas was the story of the tournament last year.... for all the wrong reasons. As a number one seed, the Jayhawks lost in the second round to Northern Iowa in a shocker. With that game fresh in their minds, Kansas will not overlook any opponents in the tournament and definitely not a hungry Boston team.
