          Each week during the college basketball season, ESPN Insiders Jay Bilas and Jeff Goodman will weigh in on the biggest questions in the sport.

          The discussion: Is Kansas' ceiling higher than Kentucky's?

          Jay Bilas: Not in the commonwealth, it's not! My answer is no, it's not higher. But it's not lower, either. Kentucky may have a higher ceiling in raw talent, but I don't put its performance ceiling above that of Kansas.
