The Kansas Jayhawks are back home.

After a short trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, top-seeded Kansas is back to a Jayhawk favorite: the Sprint Center in Kansas City.

KU used a late burst of offensive power to get back ninth-seeded Michigan State 90-70 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The next challenger proves to be an even more interesting test.

The Purdue Boilermakers have quite possibly the best big-man duo in the nation. Sophomore Caleb Swanigan highlights Purdue, being one of four finalists for the Naismith Trophy. Kansas senior guard Frank Mason III also made the cut.
