The defending champs make a statement. Kansas leads Lindsay_Schnell's list of the winners and losers of Saturday's men's college basketball slate:

Bottom line: These teams are battle-tested and ooze toughness.
Four Kentucky players scored in double figures and the Wildcats hounded the Vols on defense, forcing Tennessee into an ugly shooting night while also outrebounding them, 40-32.
