The Pick
- If you still believe in going by the chalk — a concept this tournament all but destroyed — Kansas is the pick. The Jayhawks have won 20 of their last 21 games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
- Miami will do everything in its power to make this a rock fight with their defense leading the way. The Hurricanes have yielded 75 points or fewer in 20 of its last 21 games, rank 160th in adjusted tempo, and eighth in all of college basketball in offensive turnovers. If they can hit near their season average of scoring 74.8 points per game, this game is interesting.
