Showtime in Tulsa: Jayhawks cruise past UC Davis in first round | KUsports.com
From hustle plays and free throws to 3-pointers and tough defense early, the Aggies played Kansas nearly even for the game’s first 13 minutes. But then the Jayhawks unleashed a barrage of plays, some believable, others not, that reminded everyone watching why KU spent most of the season ranked in the Top 5 and, perhaps more relevant today, why No. 1 seeds are undefeated all-time against No. 16 seeds in the Big Dance.

Notebook: Jayhawks play 'best defense that we've played all year' in win over UC Davis | KUsports.com
Using suffocating ball pressure, a dominant showing on the glass and the kind of effort you might expect from a team that laid an egg, defensively, in its last game out, the top-seeded Jayhawks rolled to a 100-62 victory over No. 16 seed UC Davis Friday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at BOK Center.

March Madness 2017: Kentucky, Kansas among 5 teams on second-round upset alert - CBSSports.com
It’s been fun. But there have been very little bracket-busting games. Every 1-4 seed won its first-round game, and outside one 12-over-5 and three 11-over-6 upsets (all of which were somewhat expected), there has yet to be a signature March Madness shocker. So if you went chalk on your bracket, there’s a good chance it has more circles than Xs. You’re probably feeling pretty good about yourself.
