UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, March 6, 1997 7 Kansas should be proud Campus can boast two winning teams March Madness is officially six days old. There should be no talk of anything but college basketball from now until March 31, especially at the University of Kansas. We have the Big 12 men's player of the year, Raef LaFrentz; the Big 12 women's player of the year, Tamecka Dixon; the Big 12 men's coach of the year, Roy Williams; and the Big 12 women's coach of the year, Marian Washington. Both teams won their respective Big 12 championships this season, and both have a legitimate shot at winning their respective conference tournaments. The men are guaranteed a No.1 seed and the women should get a No.2 seed. No other school comes close to this long list of basketball accolades. The University and its basketball programs are truly in a class by themselves. With that in mind, let me get you ready with some preliminary thoughts about the tournament, selection guidelines and tips: SPORTS COLUMNIST The team with the No. 1 overall seed (Kansas) in the tournament will go one of two places, either the first round site that is closest to the school's home (Memphis, Tenn., is 300 miles closer to Lawrence than Auburn Hills, Mich.) or the region with the most advantageous final location. Two teams from the same conference cannot be among the top four seeds in the same region. North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest all will have to be sent to different regionals. The best team in the tournament plays the worst team. Kansas, no matter what region it is in, will play Fairfield, winner of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament. Fairfield has a losing record. The Kansas women, although ranked ninth, should get a No. 2 seed in the tournament if they do well in the Big 12 tournament. Three Southeastern Conference teams are ahead of the Jayhawks in the polls. Chances are one of them will get knocked off. The No.1 seeds for the men's basketball tournament will be Kansas, Minnesota, the winner of the SEC Tournament (either Kentucky or South Carolina) and the winner of the ACC Tournament (North Carolina, Wake Forest or Duke). The Big 12 will get five men's teams in the tournament — Kansas, Colorado, Iowa State, Texas and Texas Tech. The women should get the same five teams into the NCAA (should is the operative word). There will be no Cinderellas in either the men's or women's conference tournament. The top teams are far better than the second tier. The SEC has seven teams ranked in the top 25 women's basketball poll, and as many as eight could make the NCAA Tournament. Can the whole conference really be that good? Only the tournament will tell. The connection between Kansas and North Carolina basketball continues. The two schools are the only ones distinguished enough to have both their men's and women's basketball teams ranked in the top 10. Aries (March 21-April 19) "Today is a 6." Does it be harsh to one who means well but doesn't seem to understand what's going on. He or she may know more than you realize. An assertive person offers good advice, but it's a contemplative one who will lead you to the path with heart. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7. Old person asks everything done according to the book. You know ways to cut costs, but you might as well keep them to yourself. If you naked, offer your opinion. Otherwise, don't bother. The boss is more concerned about other things. Gemini (May 21-June 21)-Today is a 6 HOROSCOPES Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 6. If you've got a business deal pending, the decision's already been made. All you have to do is follow through. That's a good feature for the entire day, actually. Exercise caution when dealing with older people, authority figures and women. Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7. This isn't a good day to start on your world cruise. But it's not bad for paying bills and fine-tuning your budget. You know you want to get away. The question is how and when? How is a variable, but when is this weekend. Make it happen. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6. our (Q2) 19-A3-Ann-22] 'toy' is a you're good at most things, but some leave you people with disabilities, and you leave people already from your yorks. Abandon your footlash pride and ask for help. Meanwhile, is here something we promised to do? Don't forget that you need the cash. Virgo (Aug, 23-Sep, 22) - Today is a 7. Virgil (Argus 2-3-Sap 2-) today? First, make a date for later tonight. Second, get into your hotel room and let them do it. Don't get into a tougher spot than the one you're in already. One who seems slightly dorky knows more than you think. Be nice and you'll be more successful. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8, you're so much in love you can't stand to be parted from your sweetheart for a minute. Unfortunately, you have an agreement to be somewhere else. After that obligation has been met, you can retire to the privacy of your own little nest. Do that. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)- Today is a 6. Dig around in the archives and you may find something that's been hidden for years. A hunch could lead you to pay dirt. Speaking of intuition, your sweetheart's pretty good at that right now. If you have any roommates, listen to them, too. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8. Buy something you've researched and thought about extensively, items purchased on a whim won't work out nearly as well. A female friend can help you get what you want with out hurting a sensitive person's feelings. Talk about an action you're contemplating. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7. Although youll learn and good looking, you shouldn't start new projects. You're safe if you do pretty much what you've done before. Stick to the routine. Buy things that are on your list and pass up the frills. Pieces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is an 8. You're incredibly powerful - and getting even stronger. This weekend you'll be a vertable dynamo. Get ready. Finish up everything on all of your lists. You are always imaginative and creative, but starting tomorrow afternoon you'll be awesome. 1826 MASSACHUSETTS 749-3502 FINE LINE TATTOO, INC. & BODY PIERCING GET K.U.FIT! ☆ The K.U.
