"You're kind of reborn as a player when you see your name pop up, because, truth be told, we all start with that goal to be part of the tournament."

THE MORNING BREW Ideal matchups for March Madness
A. h, March. The best time of the year. Campus always seems to have an extra bounce during the month — an added buzz if you will. At the end of this week, that extra bounce and buzz will turn into a jumping roar.
Selection Sunday is fast approaching. Teams will be placed in their respective slots, gearing up for the opportunity to bring home a championship. The bracket selecting is one of the most unique events in sports, as it sets a team up for glovy or gloom.
Last year, the bracket came together perfectly for Kansas to make a deep tournament run. Instead, shock struck Lawrence as the Jayhawks were ousted by Virginia Commonwealth just one game short of the Final Four.
Once again, Kansas will likely be a one seed, the target of its bracket. Here are the best two, three and four seeds the Jayhawks could possibly be matched with:
BEST POSSIBLE TWO SEED: DUKE
What could motivate the Jayhawks more than a possible rematch with the Blue Devils? In their last meeting, the two played for the Maui Invitational Championship. This time, it could be for a trip to New Orleans for the Final Four.
Kansas controlled much of the first game, before collapsing in the second half. If the two face off again, an improved Kansas team should have the edge heading into the game.
Since the meeting with Kansas,
Duke has lost five games, some of which have been suspect. Losses to Ohio State, Temple and Miami are major blemishes on the Blue Devils' record.
BEST POSSIBLE THREE SEED:
MICHIGAN
Winning a share of the Big 10 championship is something to boast about, but the Wolverines don't quite have as much bite as other potential three seeds, like Baylor, Marquette or Georgetown.
Regular season losses to Iowa and Purdue don't bode well, and the Wolverines only scored 49 points in their loss to rival Ohio State. While Big 10 games are typically low scoring, scoring 49 in a game is far from a desired result.
BEST POSSIBLE FOUR SEED:
FLORIDA STATE
Florida State made some noise as
a serious contender in the middle of the season, but its inconsistencies have come to light recently, making the match up favorable for Kansas.
Florida State is a team that Kansas is not likely to overlook, and with some of the Seminoles marquee victories, the Jayhawks will have no choice but to play their hardest. While Florida State has wins over Duke, Virginia and North Carolina, they have also lost to Havard, Princeton, Boston College and Miami.
No matter what, it won't be an easy road for Kansas. But still, Sunday's unveiling of the NCAA Tournament Bracket will go a long way in determining the Jayhawks Final Four hopes.
