Kansas has basically cruised through the first two rounds of March Madness, with the Jayhawks winning by 26 and 12 points respectively. The senior guidance of Perry Ellis has been a big factor for Kansas, as the forward has scored 21 points in both games in the NCAA Tournament while shooting a combined 17-for-24 from the field.
After a tight first round affair against South Dakota State, Maryland put up a better, but not perfect, performance against Hawaii in the Round of 32. Though the Terps scored 73 points they couldn’t buy a three if they won the lottery, as the team went an appalling 1-for-18 from beyond the arc against the Rainbow Warriors.
