Kansas Jayhawks

This off-season for college basketball fans was one of the toughest in recent memory. Scandals, coaches in trouble and basketball teams fighting football teams all marred the sport.

Probably biggest of these scandals to me was the Rick Pitino scandal where he was allegedly being blackmailed by a former lover with whom he allegedly had an extra-marital affair. Pitino was always one of those guys who seemed to do everything right, at the college level at least, and when he became front page news, it was a real shock to many.

#3 Bill vs. #1 Josh Bill (123ppg) takes on Josh (137ppg) this week in a big time fantasy football match-up. Bill was left for dead this year after ripping off 2 league titles; half his roster graduated or went pro early and now he's parlayed a few spare parts into some young hosses that lead the charge for him. Jevan Snead takes over at QB after he dealt Tim Tebow to T-Raz. Bill picked up Ryan Broyles in the trade who gives him a lot of ammo at the WR position. A failed trade with Perrins and Bill have both of them reeling and Perrins crying in private emails around the league. Fortunately, those emails remain private so the league doesn't need to here his confessions. I'll bet it looks something like this. Anyway, Bill is off to a off start thanks to a flying and amped up South Carolina defense. Josh should get a big week from Blane Gabbert and he has a few backs capable of points in Nic Grigsby and John Clay.. as well as Ryan Williams. Smart money is on Josh this week, but you can't forget Bill just knows how to win. Spread: Josh -11.5

Okay so last night I went 2 for 4. Not bad. If I were a baseball player, I would be in the Hall of Fame. Apparently UConn is not as affected by the off court issues as much as I thought they would be and Coach K did not prepare for Villanova manhandling and basically running the Dukies out of the gym. At least Missouri lived up to its billing hanging 102 on Memphis in regulation.

The Cardinals are eerily similar to the Kansas Jayhawks.

Not only does the back court of Earl Clark, Edgar Sosa, Jerry Smith, Preston Knowles and Andre McGee bring back thoughts of the Jayhawk backcourt of Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Sheron Collins, that stats bear it out. Clark leads the Cardinals in scoring averaging 14 points a game and can take players inside and out, much like his predecessor Rush, who led Kansas last year with 13.3 points per game.
