Emory GJ vs Kansas KQ from the 2010 Shirley

Thanks to all the participants (Emory Ross Gordon & Rajesh Jegadeesh and Kansas Sean Kennedy & [deleted]). I feel pretty good about posting this Kansas loss to Emory on theory given that Kansas KQ would go one to win the Wake tournamnet in triumphant fashion. Little bit a of a “what not to do” lesson here. Maybe we can convince Sean to do a redo for the website!
