UMKC beat UT-Pan American 70-61, their first conference tourney win since 2007. They play Seattle in the semis tonight.

KU won more games than K-State and Mizzou combined. Wonder when the last time that happened was.

Roos games are on OTA TV on a pretty regular basis, which I don't recall before.

That would be too bad. Maclin and a bunch of unknowns is only marginally better than Bowe and a bunch of unknowns. We need two receivers. I would assume they'll draft one pretty early. Lots of crazy trades today. Sam Bradford swapped for Nick Foles. Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks. Hatoli Ngata to the...
