San Antonio — Mitch Lightfoot is happy to be at the Final Four for a number of reasons.
“It beats the hell out of sitting in class,” Lightfoot joked. “I love class and everything, but thank God I’m not there.”
Lightfoot and the Jayhawks will match up against Villanova in the Final Four on Saturday, attempting to advance to the National Championship game for the first time since 2012.
In prepping for the Wildcats, the KU sophomore has noticed some similarities between the two teams. One of those aspects, Lightfoot said, is that Villanova has six different guys who are all capable of shooting from 3-point range.
“That’s kind of how we do play,” Lightfoot said. “You’ve got to get out to their shooters.”
