Keegan’s top 25

Most of the teams in KU’s neighborhood in the poll lost as well last week, so the Jayhawks didn’t drop as far as they otherwise would have. Elsewhere, the most mystifyingly underachieving team in the nation, Michigan State, is 7-7 in the Big Ten, 2-6 on the road, and a loss from vanishing from the Top 25. Shannon Brown, Maurice Ager and Paul Davis are big-time talents. Why nine losses?
