Kansas vs Providence Preview
Top-seeded Kansas (30-6) has been warned — two other No. 1 seeds, Gonzaga and Arizona, tumbled on the first night of the Sweet 16 on Thursday, March 24. That makes Kansas the last No. 1 seed left.
“I don’t think anyone’s really nervous,” Kansas sophomore forward Jalen Wilson said on Thursday before the Sweet 16 according to WBIW’s Mitchel Summers. “We were so well prepared in practice and everything like that, that we know exactly what we need to do when we get to the game.”
Providence (27-5) seeks to pull another upset of a No. 1 seed in facing Kansas, but the Friars will have a tall task to do so.
“If I was gonna say there’s a team that they kind of remind me of, it may be ours.” Kansas head coach Bill Self said per Summers.
Kansas comes into the game on a seven-game winning streak, which includes victories of NCAA tournament teams Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, Texas, and Creighton. Ochai Agbaji has been as tough as ever to stop in the tournament with 13 points and seven rebounds per game in the Big Dance.
“I think our guys think they’re battle-tested. I believe we’re battle-tested,” Self said per Summers. “But I will tell you this: Providence thinks they’re battle-tested too. The Big East is no joke as well. So it’ll be two good teams that have had some pretty tough battles this year. It should be very competitive.”
