One of the announcers on the Mizzou/Memphis game just said that he’s “not sure that there’s a big man in the Big XII more talented offensively than Leo Lyons.” Well, sure…if you don’t count the #14 scorer in the country, who averaged 22.5 PPG during the regular season and is averaging 30 PPG in the tournament.

Allowing Nova as the 3 seed to play on what is literally a home court for the Wildcats several times each year certainly played a factor in the Wildcats pulling this one out at the end. So much for the “neutral court” concept of the NCAA tournament.
Not to mention the injustice to fellow 3 seeds Kansas and Mizzou, who the NCAA saw fit to ship out to Minneapolis and Boise instead of Kansas City.

The only reason this rumor gets a barely passing grade is because we’ve heard it now from at least 3 separate sources. Although the alleged impetus for the firing in each version is different, they all involve off-field issues. If it happens, look for “health issues” to be cited, whether or not that’s the true reason.

2) Chan Gailey is a heckuva o-coordinator.
3) Thigpen has at least earned the right to compete for the starting spot next year.
