Kansas vs. Kentucky: Which Team is Better Heading into Postseason Play?

They are the giants of college basketball. These two teams, Kansas and Kentucky, are not only conference leaders but stand one and two respectively in the rankings. Considering the Jayhawks and Wildcats have all but locked up top seeds for the NCAA Tournament, I asked my self this question: Which team is all around better heading into the most critical time of the season?

According to ESPN, the two college basketball powerhouses rank one and three all time. Kentucky owns seven titles (trailing UCLA by four), while Kansas has cut down the net a respectable three times. So it is only fitting that these two teams each have favorable chances at winning another National Championship in 2010.

Kentucky has struggled mightily in recent years with Billy Gillispie at the helm, but have obviously turned things around with John Calipari and a fantastic freshmen class. Kansas, on the other hand, coming off a National Championship in 2008 and a deep run in the Tourney in’09, looks primed for another late-March winning streak.

And with Syracuse losing earlier today, the Kansas Jayhawks and Kentucky Wildcats are the top two teams to beat. So, with both teams possessing enough skill to win some championships in the near future, I am going to break down who is better heading into postseason play. Here are five key aspects of each team and who would have the advantage if they played today.
