Sunday Upset Watch

No. 7 Wichita State vs. No. 2 Kansas

Neither Georgia State nor the University of Alabama-Birmingham could build upon their surprise round-of-64 victories on Saturday, but that doesn't mean Sunday will be devoid of topsy-turvy results.

If you're looking for a potential upset, check out the Sunflower State showdown between No. 7 Wichita State and No. 2 Kansas.

The Jayhawks hardly inspired confidence heading into the tournament, losing four of their final nine games heading into the Big Dance.

Head coach Bill Self's squad certainly recovered well on Friday in the round of 64, defeating New Mexico State 75-56 behind a big performance from guard Frank Mason III, who had 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

The Shockers had quite the battle on their hands in their opening salvo, defeating No. 10 Indiana by a score of 81-76. Star point guard Fred VanVleet had 27 points in the contest.

Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star is looking forward to the epic point guard battle this matchup promises:

The Jayhawks will certainly have their hands full on Sunday, but Self apparently has a strategy in mind that can be boiled down to a very simple mantra, per Sam Mellinger of The Kansas City Star

"

Make the other team play bad, he says, over and over and over again. Before games, Self tells the media and his guys that to win they will have to make the opposition play bad. During timeouts, he usually spends time measuring in occasionally graphic detail if they are making the other team play bad. And after games, the phrase is a lock to be mentioned in some form at least once.

"

Assuming Mason and VanVleet cancel out each other's performances, this strategy will likely revolve around limiting floppy-haired forward Ron Baker, who shot just 3-of-13 from the field against the Hoosiers.

Of course, if Kansas really wants to exert as much control as possible over the Shockers, it should probably refrain from sending them to the foul line.

ESPN Stats & Info noted Wichita State was excellent from the charity stripe against Indiana:

A perhaps underappreciated storyline heading into this tournament is the matchup between Wichita State's Evan Wessel and Kansas' Perry Ellis, two excellent players who have played with and against each other since their childhoods growing up in Kansas.

"We’ve been competing against each other since we were very young,” Ellis said, via Tony Adame of The Wichita Eagle. “And we ended up winning a lot of games together.”

Ellis—who had nine points and two assists in 23 minutes against the Aggies—and Wessel may go way back, but this long-dormant rivalry is practically ancient by comparison.

This is the first meeting between the schools since 1993, and many will be looking for Wichita Staterepresentatives of the Missouri Valley Conferenceto topple its big-name opponent.

The way Shockers head coach Gregg Marshall tells it, Self hasn't exactly been receptive to scheduling the underdogs. According to Pat Borzi of the New York Times, Marshall and Self have had all of one conversation about their teams playing each other.

“He laughed it off,” Marshall said of Self, via Borzi. “It wasn’t a negotiation or anything. I never called his office to follow up.”

Look for the Shockers to channel all of that pent-up frustration into the game on Sunday on their way to a stunning upset victory.
