    They gave us a better chance of winning the championship than the Royals got at the start of the season.

            They also have Utah at #10 and WSU at #11. It never ceases to amaze me how far apart all of these poles are. I'm assuming it's mostly related to P5/regional bias, but these "professionals" should all at least be close if they do their homework.

                Poland is roughly 1,250 miles from its southern most point to its northern most point so it is not that unusual for Poles to be far apart. Bazinga.

                • The season is just hours away. Who do our experts have in the Final Four? What about winning it all? How about player of the year and coach of the year? It's all right here.


                  6 ESPN experts pick WSU for the Final Four.

                        • More people believe WSU is going to the Final Four than Duke.

                          • I must say, I still don't know what KU did to improve to become a final 4 team, specially if Diallo doesn't clear. I guess people could say the same about us, but we've got scoreboard.

                              Word out of Lawrence is that once Wayne Selden understood that Tekele Cotton had graduated he was able to recover from a severe case of PTSD although his Doctors have warned of the high risk of a relapse should the Jayhawks be forced to play the Shock again even without Tekele.

                                If they play us a relapse is inevitable...Wayne Seldon meet Zach Brown--Kelly Oubre can attest.

                                Seldon may have PTSD but Oubre had sleeping sickness.
