The Kansas Jayhawks and Ohio St. Buckeyes clash in New Orleans for a spot in the 2012 NCAA Tournament title game.
The 2012 NCAA Tournament continues Saturday night with a pair of No. 2 seeds, the Ohio St. Buckeyes and the Kansas Jayhawks, playing the late game of the day. This is a battle between East (Ohio St.) and Midwest (Kansas) regions for a chance to face the winner from the No. 4 Louisville Cardinals-No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats contest from earlier in the day on Monday.
Ohio St. has had a relatively easy path to the Final Four, defeating its four tournament opponents with at least a seven-point cushion. The Buckeyes' last victory sent the No. 1 Syracuse Orange to the sidelines for the rest of the season following a 77-70 victory.
Kansas, however, escaped with three-point victories over the Purdue Boilermakers and the N.C. State Wolfpack before defeating the No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels, 80-67, to reach this point of the tournament.
Both having taken down a No. 1 seed. Which No. 2 seed will emerge victorious?
