There’s no question that this year’s Kansas team is much different than last year’s nation champs. After losing all five starters, KU had just 1 key contributor return to the program, Sherron Collins. No one understands the pressure that Kansas would encounter entering this year’s tourney than head coach Bill Self, who’s now a perfect 6-for-6 making it into the NCAA Tournament since arriving at KU. The OVER/UNDER for this, 2009 Sweet 16 Betting Odds: Kansas vs. Michigan State has been settled at a combined total of 138½ points.
“I don’t feel like this team feels like it’s defending, because in large part, they don’t have anything they own,” Self said. “Sherron and Cole (Aldrich), a little bit I guess, because they were the only guys who had an impact putting their hands on that trophy. There were guys who practiced last year, and other guys who are playing minutes this year, but they didn’t have anything to do with it. So I don’t think they sense they are trying to defend.”
