The Lehigh Mountain Hawks put a scare in the Kansas Jayhawks. But the Jayhawks survived thanks to a double-double from Marcus Morris (26 points and 10 rebounds) and 18 points from Sherron Collins.

Lucky for President Obama (and me) that the Jayhawks won or else his bracket would have been totally busted. Unfortunately for Obama, it happened anyway. One of his Final Four picks, No.3 seed Georgetown, fell to No. 14 Ohio. And one of the president’s Sweet Sixteen picks, No. 6 Marquette, bowed out to Washington, a No. 11 seed.

Next up for the Jayhawks, a Saturday afternoon game with the upset-minded Northern Iowa Panthers, who pulled off a last second victory via 3-pointer to kick UNLV out of the tournament.
