DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Top-ranked Kansas was the best team in arguably the best league in America. The Jayhawks (30-4), winners of the Big 12’s regular season and tournament titles, open NCAA Tournament play Thursday (today) in Des Moines, against Austin Peay (18-17) as the Number 1 seed in the South Region.

But after second-round losses in each of its last two tournaments as a Number 2 seed, Kansas is more focused on the first weekend than the Final Four. They face a Governors team that made a school-record 16 3-pointers to beat UT-Martin in the Ohio Valley Conference tourney to clinch its first NCAA bid in eight years.
