When the Jayhawks entered their locker room for practice Tuesday, there was a Sports Illustrated posted in each of their lockers. It wasn't the 2011 tournament preview, which in the Midwest will feature Marcus Morris on the cover. It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmanesh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.
"One of my coaches asked me if we should remind our guys and I said, "Yeah, remind them," coach Bill Self said. "I'm sure they all read that."

Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas' path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No.1 seeds.
I read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash.
No.1 Seed.
At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat:

NCAA Tournament tips to ensure a successful bracket
12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round.

- 12th seed Utah State — The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldn't shock anyone.

Bracket competitors should also be wary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 match with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team
- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.
could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down 1-5 from Anaheim.
Jump off the Jimmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmer Fredrete has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round.
Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionals.
