KU and OU and UT have the best chance to win the final KU is weak in depth .. verrrrry weak should foul trouble develop OU is the most hampered by Hollis being "hurt" UT must have major impact out of at least one player besides TJ to advance MU must ride Wade again *(who had his first triple double against KU) AND have point production from Denier and Novak *(as they did vs UK) ... so .. MU vs KU ... Wade, Denier, and Novak must produce KU must stay out of foul trouble will be an interesting game ........ Beans ps .. anything else you want to know .... pps .. I have OU-UT-KU-UK in my final four chart .... so I'm out on one and in on one so far ... with two left to go to get to the final four and I have KU to prevail over OU in the final ....
