Not a good way to compare. Oklahoma ST. completely gave up on their coach the last few games of the conference, and even though they got a big win against ATM (on cruise control, coach did not care about seed) in the Big 12 tourney, they were playing the tourney on their home floor. OK. ST. was absolutely horrible the last 10 or so games. They played as poorly as any team with talent as I have seen.
On the other hand if Niagra can play some D... Kansas is a great team against teams that want to run and play athletic with them. Hope Niagra plays the slow down game. Only team more athletic and as deep as Kansas is North Carolina. But I think Kansas plays out of control. Kansas was beaten by poised teams in conf. ATM and Texas Tech.
btw... been gone so sorry if this has already been discussed: I have not flippin idea how Texas Tech made the tourney. If you had to take another team from the Big 12 (which I would not have) it would have been Kansas St.
