LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
The Jayhawks look to flow more freely when Embid is on the floor and his finishing ability seems to improve with each shot he takes.
We don't do "boring" in the special sections department of the UDK. You won't find any pictures of buildings, generic stories or stock quotes in this semester's Top of the Hill. Our staff of
correspondent writers, designers and photographers have worked incredibly hard to bring you the best of Lawrence (which you voted for) in an interesting and reader-friendly format.
Since then, Embid has exploded on the court and in the national conversation, where the pundits who boasted about Andrew Wiggins being the number one overall pick in the NBA draft are starting to say the same things about the freshman from Cameroon.
There are 36 "best of" categories in seven sections in this issue: best food, personal care and beauty, health, booze, music, services and a special photo shoot on page 15. There were almost 13,000 votes cast for each individual
We were told the seven-foot center would see a lot of time right away. In each of the last two games Embild played more than 20 minutes. Currently he's averaging 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per contest.
category, and most of the categories got more than 300 votes: meaning students know what they like about the Lawrence community and are passionate about behaving it.
We'd like to thank
the hundreds of businesses, those mentioned and not mentioned, that make Lawrence unique. Whether it's "freaky fast" customer service or local brewing talent, you fuel the student body and remind us why Lawrence is one of the top college towns in the country.
Things change. It doesn't mean that Black is a bad player, or that he can't break out of this funk. Still, if Self is going to mix up his starters again, no one could blame him for inserting Embild.
So, you voted, we listened, and now we're bringing you your 2013 Top of the Hill results.

"too] can be as good as he wants to be." Black said earlier in the year. "It's my job to help him mature in his game, understand a couple of things and just help him with the little things on the court to make him that much better of a player."

Sporting Kansas City players celebrate their win against Real Salt Lake for the 2013 MLS Cup. This is Kansas City's first professional sports title since 2000.
The game got off to a rough start. Sporting midfielder Oriol Rosell was substituted out in the eighth minute for Lawrence Olum. This substitution was made due to injury and was the earliest substitution in MLS Cup history. The opening minutes of the game were slow due to injuries and large stoppages of play.
much through to decide a loss for the MLS Cup on Saturday. It took 10 rounds of penalty kicks for Sporting Kansas City to defeat Real Salt Lake at Sporting Park. This was Kansas City's first professional sports title since 2000.
"Half of the field was completely frozen," Sporting head coach Peter Vermes said. "It was almost unplayable."
Both head coaches had similar complaints about the field. But like Vermes said, "That's the beauty of sports, both teams have to play in it."
The first half did not have a lot of highlights. In the 29th minute,
