- Why do I think Kansas is overall a better team than Michigan? Because when they
- decide that their strength is their half-court game they play as well as anyone
- in the country. However, if they decide they'll "show up" a lesser team, they'll
- burn themselves running, IMO. No, I didn't see KU-LBS, though I understand
- that KU was unprepared for a pressing LBS defense. The Wolve's don't have that
- sort of defense. In a similar vein, Kansas flopped against my faves UTEP. Perhaps
- Roy Williams isn't that great a coach, if he can get popped so bad when he has
- such great talent.

- As far as Michigan goes, they did lose what to them should have been the biggest
- game of the year, blew a shot at Duke, and just snuck by the Tarheels. Their
- players talk up such a streak that other teams rise to the occasion of playing them.
- Given another Michigan-Kansas game I'd give Michigan 5 pts. Really.
