    Kansas has the look

    They are playing better than any team in the country. Had a great season but they have elevated their game to another level this tournament. Don't think anyone can beat this team right now. Possibly UNC, but that's it.

    Guards are so damn good and jackson just keeps getting better.

    Can be beat inside but you need the guards to compete or it wont matter.

    Kentucky or unc only teams i think that could beat them.

    If they had one more big guy to play Center then it would be a lock. That said, Purdue sucks.

    Though, guards win titles. All this talent with the experience of Mason is going to be tough to beat.

    Much like Monk and Fox becoming more consistent for Kentucky, Jackson playing the way he has is a big difference. Totally different team than they were a month ago.

    As a Heel fan it pains me to say it but Kansas is better. Carolina's too damn inconsistent and they play stupid at times (see Arkansas game). Mason's top notch and in the words of Samuel Jackson, Josh Jackson is a bad mother fukker. That said, go Heels

    Kansas versus Kentucky would be fun to watch. They did get lucky playing two B1G teams. Florida will take care of the last.

    If if comes to it, then you guys have to pound the glass. Kansas is insane to watch. Only thing they could do better is have another big guy off the bench. Still, they are just insanely talented.

    Kansas had a great record but they did not play at this level all year. They are the hot team right now.

    Most times anyone says "this team has the look" or "nobody can beat this team right now" that team usually loses. Kansas is supposed to be in the Final Four. All year long they've had top two or three odds to win the national title.

    It's not like they came out of nowhere. They're not unbeatable by any means. Gonzaga, UNC, Arizona, Oregon, Kentucky, and UCLA would all win at least three games against them if they played ten times.

    Absolutely. I'm looking forward towards this game more than I have a Sweet 16 game in years. Minus Cuse games. This could be a classic.

    It might be one of the best games of the year because of the star power of Ball vs. Monk

    Robbie you're missing the point. They were extremely beatable all season long. They found ways to win tight games. It's pretty clear they've flipped a switch here in this tournament. They've elevated their level.

    I'm just saying that if Kansas wins the title, it's not going to be by 10+ points every game because they're hot and unbeatable now. They're bound to play a game that either goes down to the wire or sees them trailing late. It's never smooth sailing in this tourney unless you've got a stacked, all-time team.

    As a general rule of thumb, excellent guards can get you to the Sweet Sixteen, but the deeper you get into the tourney, the more having an elite frontcourt matters, which is why North Carolina and Gonzaga have been favored from this point on.

    Kansas is built for the tourney. They struggled at times in the regular season. A lot of late game comebacks. I still think it all comes down to Landen Lucas. If he gets in foul trouble they will be vulnerable.

    Scary thing is they did - freshmen McDonald's All American BIG guy Azubuike had a season ending injury a couple months ago...

    I disagree with this. Teams with great guards are the ones that win the championships. Unless you have an anthony davis or towns type player, its the guards the make the difference.

    This 100%. This year's champ will be driven by an elite backcourt.

    This year there isn't the KAT/unibrow type of forward or center.
