"I REALLY don't know how we know," the McGhrad said. "Practices have been going pretty good, but you really can't judge how good you are are playing against yourself. We're ready to play somebody else." The Jayhawks were 7-6 last year and finished seventh in the Big Eight championships. McGrain said he expect from this year's team. "it's really too early to tell how good we are going to be this year," he said. "I guess a lot depends on how much we improve over the "We're certainly not going to be the type of team that is going to blow people off the court." McGrath said.

"The experienced players are all playing hard and have been picking up the slack, I think they really pick up on the slack. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people. "I feel strongly that we can finish fourth in the Big Eight, and if Charlie can come back strong, we might even be able to finish higher." AUBIN AGREED with Syrett that the team is going to be much stronger this year. "We have a lot more depth this year," Aubin said. According to McGrath, the Jayhawks' schedule is a competitive one. "The encouraging thing about our team is that it is a young team. We can only get better." "Very competitive," he said. "Everybody in the conference should be tough and we play two top teams of Oklahoma State and Wichita State." IN SHAPING up the Big Eight race, McGrath said Oklahoma State and Oklahoma should be the teams to beat. "Even though Oklahoma State lost three players from last years' team, they are going to be very tough," he said. "Two all-Americans back this year." "Most of the coaches seem to agree that Oklahoma is going to be real tough, and surprisingly, Kansas State is really improved this year."
