that seems to be the best thing about this team...looking at the tourney as a whole body of work, EJ has been the most consistent. But, each game, someone has been able to step up and be huge for us! Releford has been outstanding on shutdown D for most of the tourney...Withey and TT were huge against UNC...TRob has had big games. Even Young has been huge for us...energy and rebounds! We have seen what happens when teams can shut down the one or two playmakers on the team...that is why those teams are no longer playing! it seems each of the Final 4 teams are built around the team concept, where each part is vital (maybe a little less with OSU than the others). We just need our guys to ALL come together for two more games. If everyone is clicking...whew...I can't even imagine, cause I don't think we have seen it yet this season!
I went with EJ, how he was left off the all regional team is beyond me. Sure he didn't scorch UNC, but his Purdue and NCst games should have been enough!
But EJ did indeed hit one of the biggest 3s in the tournament, one that may have initiated "fear" and spinchter-tightening amongst the Tarholes late in that game.
EJ's development to lead this team next year is coming along nicely...
Congratulations Jayhawks! On behalf of my son, a Navy pilot and KU engineering grad '07, currently serving on the Lincoln (and myself a Journalism grad of '77) ----- ROCK CHALK! --- What a great game! Bring on Kentucky!

I voted for Jeff. I think he changes how the other team plays while he's on the floor. That gives us an advantage.

I cheated. I voted twice. Once for Johnson and once for Withey. This kind of poll is the pits.

After last night (KU v. OSU) I cheated again. I voted for only Johnson this time, but I thought everyone did a good job.
