Wheres all the lobo fans at Kansas won’t reach the Sweet 16 -- The Joel Embiid injury is a major problem for Kansas. Yes, the Jayhawks can still make a run without him. But that third-round matchup against a big New Mexico squad should be a concern. The Jayhawks routed the Lobos 80-63 in December. That day, Embiid had 18 points, six rebounds, four blocks and three steals. The Jayhawks will miss that. A lot. Andrew Wiggins has proved that he can carry Kansas in the postseason. But that potential third-round matchup against New Mexico without Embiid -- this pick is based on the assumption that he won’t play, although you never know -- will be a great challenge for Bill Self’s program. I see the Lobos, not the Jayhawks, advancing to the Sweet 16. Espn!!
