Kansas and Clemson have gotten by pretty steadily en route to the Sweet 16, with each team handling inferior opponents easily.

Two top seeds have gone down. Is Kansas next?
After a shaky end to the season, Clemson seems to be figuring itself out again. The same team that beat Ohio State by 14 points on the road, and beat UNC earlier in the season, appears to be on its way back. Many counted the Tigers out after they lost four of their last six before the ACC tournament, but Kansas doesn’t seem destined for an easy victory. Clemson punched its ticket to the Sweet 16 with a 84-53 romping of No. 4 Auburn.
The Jayhawks are an experienced and solid group though. They were considered the weakest of the four No. 1 seeds, but here they stand as one of the last two remaining (Villanova being the other), and it’s only the Sweet 16. They beat Penn by 16 points in the first round, and Seton Hall by four in the second.
Kansas and Clemson haven’t played against each other this year, but the Jayhawks are favored. Our Ricky O’Donnell has Kansas slated as the team with the fifth-best chances of cutting down the nets when all is said and done at the NCAA tournament.
The player to watch for Clemson is guard Marcquise Reed, who’s scored 15 and 16 points in two tournament games. He had seven rebounds in each game too. For Kansas, Devonte’ Graham is the star. Seton Hall limited him to nine points, but against Penn in the opening round, he dropped 29. The senior is a lethal scorer.
