Game preview by Sam Mellinger, Kansas City Star
The last time Kansas came to Philadelphia, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 1 and played a game on Broad Street as the city recovered from a blizzard.
Sound familiar?
Okay, so it's not quite the same today. The game is north of Market Street instead of south, and the snow is mostly gone. But KU lost to Villanova back in 2005, and by the end of that January the Eagles were headed to the Super Bowl.
I talked to Joe Lunardi before Princeton-St. Joe's tipped off, and he told me he thinks Temple has a shot today. Listen to the interview in the player below, and tell me what you think as we chat live from courtside at Liacouras.
