In the Frontcourt, I honestly think that Kansas has the edge. Of course UNC has Hansbrough who is an incredible player, maybe the best in the country but I think Kansas has the depth to contain him. Hansbrough has a knack for getting guys into foul trouble and than exploiting that later in the game. Kansas has 3 guys in Arthur, Kaun and Jackson that can all play the 5 at an extremely high level. It's almost impossible to stop Hansbrough but I think Kansas won't get into to much trouble with fouls and can prevent him from taking over the game.
Overall I believe that UNC's philosophy of running the ball up and down the court won't affect Kansas as much as it affects other teams. Kansas is an up-tempo team as well so I think that part of the game is taken away from UNC and equalizes the 2 teams in that area. UNC may win this game, but think it doesn't happen by any more than 2 possessions.
