trivia of the dav
Q: When was the last time Kansas played a 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament?
A: 2004 when the Jayhawks faced off against the Pacific Boxers in the second round. Kansas beat Pacific 78-63 in Kansas City, Mo., to advance to the Sweet 16. The Jayhawks will face their second 12-seed in eight years Friday when they meet the Villanova Wildcats.

fact of the day
The last time Villanova faced a one seed in the NCAA Tournament was in 2005 when the Wildcats played the North Carolina Tarheels in the Sweet 16. Villanova hung with North Carolina for most of the game until the Tarheels pulled away to win 67-66. North Carolina went on to win the national championship.

compete this week North Carolina couldn't be stopped. Then again, neither could Western Kentucky.
The 64-team NCAA bracket is down to 16 after Sunday's games, though many of the story lines that existed when the tournament began — those of prominent power-houses, plucky underdogs and fantastic freshmen — are still very much alive.
One coach who got ejected and embarrassed gets a second chance. Teams like Duke and Georgetown are among the many who don't.
"We've been getting everybody's best game," UCLA coach Ben Howland said after the Bruins barely escaped their second-round game against Texas A&M. "That's why this is the greatest sporting event in all of American sports, because anybody can beat anybody."
But nobody could beat the top seeds over the first weekend.
Kansas, Memphis and North Carolina joined UCLA in making it through. The Jayhawks and Tar Heels did it most impressively, winning their four games by an average of 28. Memphis and UCLA, meanwhile, looked vulnerable in their second-round victories.
The Bruins, in fact, lost two points on Sunday even though they didn't play. NCAA officials said the final score of their Saturday-night win over Texas A&M should be 51-49 instead of 53-49 because a meaningless, last-second dunk by Russell Westbrook didn't come before the buzzer.
UCLA's next opponent in the West Regional is Western Kentucky, one of three double-digit seeds remaining in the tournament. Upsets reigned in Tampa and 12th-seeded Villanova also advanced out of the Midwest Regional.

Sure, but it doesn't compare to beating Woods — especially when the world's No. 1 hasn't lost in six months.
Ogilvy won the CA Championship on Monday, saving a round that seemed in peril with a chip-in for par at the 13th hole and going on to claim his second victory in a World Golf Championship event. And not only did Ogilvy take down Tiger, he did it at Doral, where Woods had won each of the past three years.
So much for that perfect-season talk. The streak is over.
"It was going to end at some point," Ogilvy said. "I'm very glad that I did it. It's a nice place to do it, too, because he's obviously owned this place for the last few years. He just had one of those weeks."
A final round of 1-under 71 — with nothing but nine pars Monday — was enough for Gilvoy to finish at 17 under, one shot better than Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh, who all closed with 68s in the raindelayed tournament. Woods was fifth at 15 under, losing for the first time in six PGA Tour starts and seven official ones worldwide, not counting his win at the Target World Challenge.
"As players, it's nice to see somebody else lift a trophy for a change." Goosen said.
With the win, Ogilvy joined select company — only Woods (15) and Darren Clarke (two) have more than one WGC title.
