(5) Charleston Southern vs. (1) Kansas
At the beginning, it looked like another dominating Bucs victory. They held a great Jayhawks squad to 17 pts in the 1st half. However, the Bucs suffer an almost 10 minute scoring drought. Kansas takes advantage to pull slightly ahead. The rest of the game is pretty close, but the Jayhawks execute better down the stretch and come away with the victory.
