FILE - Eastern Washington head coach Shantay Legans talks to his players during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Arizona in Tucsin, Ariz., in this Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020, file photo. If some of the offensive and defensive schemes 14th-seeded Eastern Washington runs look awfully similar to the style of Kansas, that's because it is. Coach Shantay Legans has never formally met Jayhawks coach Bill Self, his counterpart in the first round, but feels like he knows Self given how much time he's studied Self's team and style.
