On Friday, the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks took on the No. 11 N.C. State Wolfpack in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. In one of two Sweet 16 nightcap matchups, the Wolfpack entered the game knowing they were now the only double-digit seed remaining in the tournament. As such, the persistence of any potential Cinderella story would need to rely on them to pull off the win and advance to the Elite Eight. The Wolfpack are already showing how formidable that are, as they lead 17-16 midway through the first half.
