First, a correction.  I didn't have the home flag set for Pomeroy's predictions
these last two games, so the predicted margins were about 3 points less than
they should have been.

Second, Andy Dolphin is now on board for this season.  Seems a little earlier than
usual.

Third, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Fourth, it's a relatively early tip, and I've been staying up, waiting for
Sagarin to post his latest ratings and predictions for Thursday's games.
Alas, he's taking his sweet time doing so.  Even Dunkel, historically the
slowest of the bunch, has beat him to it.  But I need to get some sleep
before the game, so I'm going to post what I have, and might update things
before tip-off if I have the time to do so.

North Texas' two Division I games have been low-scoring affairs, so most
predictions have Kansas being kept to the 70s.  With Wilson back, and how he
can make the team play even faster, I think there will be more possessions
and a higher score.   Take the over.
