The 29th edition of Bradley’s Bracket Fiasco begins with a broken vow: I’m picking a team that has disappointed me so many times that, at least twice, I’ve sworn never to pick it again. That team is Kansas. If the Jayhawks flop on me this time, I’m done with them forever. Unless I change my mind.
The regular season has left us with two teams that are a cut above: Kansas and Michigan State, in that order. (Yes, the Spartans beat the Jayhawks, but that was pre-Thanksgiving.) Kansas won the nation’s best conference and then rolled through the Big 12 tournament.
