Kansas guard Andrew Wiggins, center, and Jamari Traylor exit the team bus after arriving outside the Hyatt Regency hotel at the Arch, Wednesday, March 19, 2014, in St. Louis. The Jayhawks play their first game of the NCAA Tournament on Friday.

Atlantic Records rapper Snow Tha Product is at The Granada on Friday night.

First, let’s talk weather

We’ll go out on a limb and say it’s highly unlikely many people in Lawrence will be anywhere but in front of a TV this afternoon, but if you do head out in spite of March Madness, take heart: Today’s high will be 65, with sunny skies and a cool breeze. The rest of the weekend, though, doesn’t look so good. Temperatures will be in the 40s Saturday and Sunday, with increasing chance for rain as the weekend limps along.

Now, on to the big show

The No. 2 Kansas University Jayhawks (24-9) face the No. 15 Eastern Kentucky Colonels (also 24-9) at 3:10 p.m. in the south bracket of the NCAA tournament in St. Louis. TBS has the TV coverage.

The Jayhawks will be without freshman center Joel Embiid, who’s been ruled out with a back injury, but Andrew Wiggins and crew still like their chances against undersized EKU. If the heavily favored Jayhawks pull off the victory, they’ll next face the winner of New Mexico vs. Stanford on Sunday. Everything you need to know is over at KUSports.com.

If you’re looking for a spot to watch the games this weekend, you could do worse than the big screen at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Doors open 30 minutes before tip-off. 21+ with ID required.

Photo realism

Speaking of big screens: Liberty Hall is serving up another treat starting this afternoon. New documentary “Tim’s Vermeer” follows inventor Tim Jenison’s global journey to unlock the secrets of 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer (“Girl with a Pearl Earring”). Critical reception to the film so far is super fresh, according to Rotten Tomatoes. Screenings: 2:30 and 7:20 p.m. today; 2:15, 4:45 and 7:20 p.m. Saturday; Sunday times TBA depending on the Jayhawks.

Let it Snow

Finally, if you’re looking for a rough and rowdy way to start your weekend, check out Atlantic Records artist Snow Tha Product, 8 tonight at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The hip-hop dynamo from California is on a quest to leave no mic unturned. We’d link to some of her music here, but that could get us fired. Let Google be your guide. $15, doors at 7.
