JACKET NOTES IN THE MEDIA
First part of this story talks about Hewitt and the convincing job he had to do with Marvin Lewis and family after Cremins left. Further down, it looks like W.Bynum would have gone to Ok.St if they had a ship available when he transferred. Could make for an interesting sub-plot should we win today............ This story shows the low-key confidence of the team. Let's hope it carries them to San Antonio.......... No doubt Elder will play today - bank on it. (story here)............... To see how GT and Kansas do against the spread, check out FoxSports.com.

KANSAS IN THE MEDIA
Well, EVERYONE is picking Kansas now. They are popular now that they are winning big and have been to the final four 2 years in a row. All the CBS guys are picking Kansas - most of the ESPN crew also. Hopefully we can spoil the party............. Here's a look at Wayne Simeon, the tough KS baller.

REGGIE BALL WORKS ON THE NEXT CHAPTER
Chapter 2 starts in the fall - the script is being written now - let's hope we like it when it hits the presses. Reggie is ready to prove himself again. In fact he added 15 pounds of muscle in the off-season. Interesting article on Ball, and interesting about the work they are doing to try and shorten his release............Looks like both he and Chris Woods were sharp in practice.
