Elite Eight is good enough (for this year)

The Jayhawks aren't apart of the Final Four this year much to my dismay but with Kansas being put out in the first round the past two years, I can live with an Elite Eight appearance. We just ran into a hungry UCLA team, not too mention, they played a lot better too. I don't know what the story was but we just couldn't handle the pressure nor make any easy buckets. It seemed that every steal we got didn't lead to anything on the scoreboard and every steal they got lead to an easy layup.

Looking ahead to next year I can't see why we wouldn't be one of the favorites to win it, especially since we have all starters coming back, assuming nobody goes pro. That would definitely be nice. Another year of experience can only be the on the positive end for the Jayhawks.

Also, it was nice to see Georgetown knock off North Carolina. I really like the way they play with that Princeton offense and their tough nosed defense. It should be a great Final Four, I just hope once again that it's not Florida-Ohio St. in the Championship come April 2.
