By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter "The frenzy has died quite a bit from '88 when we won the national championship," Reid said. "In '91 and '93, it was busier than usual, but the market changed from '88 to '93. The frenzy isn't there as much as it used to be because it's all over town." Kansas T-shirts and Kansas basketball merchandise can be purchased today in sportswear stores and grocery stores besides the KU Bookstores. The KU Bookstores, located in the Kansas and Burge Unions, have already placed contingency orders for this year's Final Four T-shirts. Jennifer Day, buyer for the gift and clothing department, said that over 2,000 Final Four T-shirts are on order if the Jayhawks make to the site of this year's semifinals in the Meadowlands. If the Jayhawks don't make it to the Final Four, the KU Bookstores only have ordered 72 T-shirts between now and that period. The theme of that shirt is "On the road to the Final Four." The shirts arrived on Monday and they feature a list of the teams in the NCAA basketball tournament. They sell for $16.95. Even if the Jayhawks do make it the Final Four, there will not be many students on campus to watch the regional final game or buy T-shirts immediately afterwards. Reid said one third of what is usually ordered is on order compared to the past, because of the timing of this year's Final Four and regional finals. "Normally the games that determine who can go to the Final Four end up the last weekend of spring break," Day said. "This year it's the weekend prior to spring break." Merle Parks, president of Prairie Graphics, 641 E. 22nd St., said that if Kansas earns a trip to the Final Four, Final Four T-shirts will be made up and delivered to the stores in Lawrence within hours.

Frederick's term on NCAA men's tournament team ends By Dan Gelston Kansan sportswriter The Doctor is out. After five years on the NCAA selection committee and two years as the chairman, Bob Frederick's term is over. Frederick, Kansas' athletic director, spent last weekend secluded in a Kansas City hotel with the nine-man selection committee. They determined which 64 schools would go to the NCAA tournament, where they would be seeded and where they would play. Fourteen teams already had received automatic bids and 18 teams would soon join after winning their conference tournaments, which left 34 at-large bids. The process was made difficult when seven regular-season conference champions lost the championship games. Two teams with losing records — Central Florida at 11-18 and San Jose State at 13-16 — made the field of 64. "It is a double-edged sword," Frederick said. "It certainly leads to the excitement that makes this tournament as great as it is." Frederick said there were a number of factors the committee looked at when determining teams for at-large bids. done in the past. That was evident this year when Oklahoma State University, a Final Four team last year and a bubble team this year, was not picked. Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said the committee would be objective and ethical. He said the committee did not look at what a conference had "There's going to be some teams left out that were having pretty good seasons," Sutton said. "64 is always tough."
