This needs to be quick, as I need to head to the airport.

Another asterisk for Seven Overtimes, as we've come full circle with its
two venue errors: West Virginia is listed as the home team, which led to
a predicted loss by 5 points for Kansas.  Everybody else is picking
Kansas to win.

Dunkel is just now getting around to populating its web page with
predictions, but the Kansas game isn't up yet.  I'll fill it in
later, not having the time to wait for him.

Among the eight key offensive stats, Kansas has the advantage in just three
of them, namely points per game, assists per game, and effective field goal
percentage.  Among the seven key defensive stats, Kansas has the advantage
in just three, namely opponents' effective field goal percentage, defensive
rebounds per game, and personal fouls per game.

Common Opponents
================
There are ten common opponents, namely Texas A&M, Kentucky, and all the other
eight conference members, so along with the head-to-head in Morgantown, we have
seventeen scores to compare:
