I provided my instant (revised) analysis very early this morning and rtmsf will be providing his a little later today. I thought I would provide you with some of the thoughts of various other sportswriters. -At the Alamo, this was one to remember: Bob Ryan, who most of you may know from his frequent appearances on ESPN, offers his thoughts on the game and the Kansas ...

Bill Walker is currently listed on NBA Draft Express' early-entry list, which started a rumor yesterday that he has officially declared for the NBA draft.

Don't do it, Bill Self. Don't take billionaire T. Boone Pickens' money, even if it means you could walk from Lawrence, Kan., to Stillwater, Okla., on a road paved with his cash. Call me nuts, I really don't see the point of signing a contract just so you can make a road to your new place of ...
