CJ - It was your answer to my question that revealed that something didn't seem quite right. I figured there was a good explanation, but wasn't sure it was one I would understand.
For me, probabilities have never meshed with the "eye test" for KSU. They have the same team that went to the Elite 8 last year, without Wade playing in NCAA tourney. I realize they lost at least two games they should have won (at Tulsa & at Texas A&M). Their home loss vs UT was without Wade and Stokes, so more understandable.
I have no doubt there will be several upsets and many tight games through the remainder of the Big 12 race. Unfortunately, with injuries and other issues, KU is getting very thin. Hopefully several of the bench players will answer the call with great performances.
