They also turn the ball over a hell of a lot, so a team with good defensive guards could pose them problems.

One thing's for sure. The play of Collins this year shows just how awesome last season's team was. Sherron was like the fourth or fifth option on last year's team, and now he's got Kansas on the verge of a 2 or 3-seed as the go-to guy.
I'm not high on Kansas but there is so much parity this year that anything could happen. I've only seen them three times (Syracuse, Siena, and Missouri) and came away unimpressed in all three. But I'm sure with a better sampling of games I might have come away with a different opinion. Now that they lucked out with Griffin's injury and appear headed to a 2 seed they'll have no problem in the first round. As a 3 seed I thought there was bigtime upset potential from a hot shooting 14 seed that has a little size to contain Aldrich, someone like North Dakota State.
