Going to play a very motivated bubble team in ksu in kc.


Yeah, I'd have honestly preferred the 4 seed route. OSU and then KU rather than KSU and WVU but oh well. Let's go win the whole dang thing!

Sidebar--hopefully not a derail.

My younger daughter has never been s sports fan (MUCH IN TO public volunteer work); she works at UT. Now dating a guy from Indiana--a true bball fan and has adopted UT since it's Austin's team.

She sent me a photo wearing a green blouse and a burnt neckscarf, hoping I'd approve of the "double" support.

I was just danged proud that she would even show at the game, much less put on a spash of green.

Most impressive; her boyfriend got a good look at Baylor bball. Will make for more understanding and respect of BU the next time the boyfriend is at the dinner table.

Thanks bball. You did wonders for my relationship with the daughter's boyfriend from "true" Hossier-land
