The Kansas Jayhawks will match up against Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday night in San Antonio, Texas. This will be the first time ever that Williams will face KU in the tournament since his departure as the Hawks head coach five years ago. To add to this highly anticipated match-up, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and North Carolina Governor Mike Easley have made a friendly wager of barbecue on the game. (WIBW.com)
