In the NCAA tournament, KU breezed through Chicago with victories against Niagara and Kentucky, only to come up flatter than a Coke sitting in the sun for an entire weekend. In San Jose, Kansas snuck past Southern Illinois, 61-58, in a blood-bath of a defensive game and lost to UCLA 68-55, looking a bit jittery in both games.
