I'm inclined to think Kansas makes a run and VCU eventually goes cold and Kansas makes it interesting.
It may be too much of a hole though.
Kansas will spend all their energy just to get back.

Kansas is the deepest team in the tourney, they don't run out of energy...VCU is the ones who will (hopefully) run out of energy trying to keep this lead. Gonna be a great 2nd half.

It's not that VCU is shooting lights out because they are not, its more of Kansas can't hit anything...2's,3's or ft's.

I hope VCU finishes them off. Tired of hearing the Kansas hype all year.

VCU is not shooting lights out? They hit nine first half threes. They are halfway toward breaking the NCAA tournament record of 20 by Loyola Marymount (I believe). VCU shot lights out.

I agree about KU playing horribly, though. Forget the Wildcats, Kentucky Fried Chicken could have beaten Kansas in those first 20 minutes.

Kansas has some depth, but it's not depth that can score a lot.

I expect KU to make a quick run and retake this lead and win.

Yep have a chance to cut it to 10 after the break.

Who will step up for VCU?

VCU needed to take that open 3.
Instead, he hesitated and drove inside and got stripped.

VCU is getting good looks, they are just making bad decisions.

Kansas rallying like you knew they would. How will VCU respond after the T?

Yeah, they are getting good outside looks.
Inside, not so much.
