Pretty shocked they aren't in Lawrence witnessing the end the one of the greatest rivalries ever. 
KU/MU is on CBS
UConn/Cuse is on ESPN
Bama LSU was on CBS
Bama and LSU were widely considered the two best teams in the country. Though few thought it would actually happen, many thought that game was the defacto national title game. It was nationally hyped for WEEKS.
No one thinks that either KU or MU are in the top 2. And no one thinks that KU/MU will be a preview of the national championship game. And no one (outside of Lawrence and possibly Columbia) has been hyping this game until today.
