Richmond plays very slow, ranking 318th out of 345 NCAA teams in pace.

Spiders point guard Kevin Anderson, who will try to slow the game down and make sure his team gets a shot on every possession, has KU’s full attention.

"(Anderson) controls the game," KU point guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "He wants to slow the game down and get shorter possessions. He wants to control the clock. He wants to get us out of our comfort zone."

Yes, Anderson, who averages 16.7 points and 3.3 assists, has the Jayhawks' complete attention. And after scoring 25 points in an upset win over Vanderbilt in the second round, including the game-winner, and 14 in a third-round victory over Morehead State to make it to San Antonio this weekend, they very well should.

"He's just so fast and he kind of reminds me of (Boston U. guard John Holland)... except (Anderson) has scored over 2,000 points in his career," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's one of the best in the country at playing point guard."

"Offensively they don't do anything that doesn't run through (Anderson)," Taylor said. "So defensively, for us, it's kind of one of those things that we know we have to stop. You watch them and you see what he can do and know if you want to beat them that's where it begins."
