About Kansas

We move on to Kansas tomorrow night in our NCAA dance.  Kansas is an historical power in NCAA basketball.  I would like to know why basketball became so big in Kansas of all places.  There must be a story to it.  I do know that Wilt Chamberlain played there in the 50's.  The game seems to be a tossup.  Who knows.  I wish tipoff weren't so late, but it gives our team extra rest.
