Sigh.  Sagarin is once again taking his sweet little old time posting the latest
ratings and predictions for Saturday's games.  Everybody else is ready to go.  So
I'll go with what I have (the ratings as of our previous game) and try to post an
update before tip-off.

It's been a while since I've said this about a game, but for today's contest you can
throw away the records, throw away the stats, throw away the rankings, and so on.
For this game, the dominant factor is sheer emotion, and it'll come more from the
fans than the players, none of whom have been previously played in this rivalry
game, not counting the hurricane relief exhibition back in 2017.  On paper, Kansas
should have an easy time of it.  The reality will be different.

Coleman has been injured, and his availability is not known.  Forward Trevon
Brazile has been sick, and his availability is also not known; he's seventh
on the team in minutes played and averages just 4 points a game.  Coleman is
the bigger concern.  Otherwise, it appears that Brown is the key to the game.
Put Marcus Garrett on him and we should be fine.  Just one problem:  Marcus
graduated.

Predicted margins for Kansas range from 16 to 32 points.  The average is nearly
23 points, with a scatter of a bit under 4 points.  But that's on paper.  Now
throw away the paper.
