The great escape

I agree with JayhawkerJoel on the quickness factor. Many of the young guys were probably a bit crossed up by the speed of the game at this level.

That said, we won. And having a game against a team like this on a neutral court is a pretty good simulator for the tourney this early in the season. This experience will certainly serve this team well down the road.

Note to Dick Vitale: feel free to talk about the Jayhawks every so often during the broadcast, okay? Alright.

Harrison Barnes chooses North Carolina

I had the feeling, once I knew it would be on an ESPN network, that KU was out of the running. Why would a network that continually pushes us to the back page ever give us a little boost in the recruiting wars?

I watched the college basketball preview show last night and the first 10 minutes were devoted to f-ing Kentucky. We have the preseason number one team and we did a time share with Texas. Andy Katz' expression looked like someone with gall stones when he was forced to admit that KU is a good bet for the Final Four and possibly another NC.

Good luck to Harrison and I'm sure Self will get the right guy(s) for this team when all is said and done.

Beat Hofstra and strike a blow against PC culture.

KU men’s basketball roster updated

jaybate,

So, if I want to comment on your post about the slang usage of the word "sick" must I write sik (sic)?

Taylor steps up after shaky start, leads U.S. to gold medal

Oakville said:

"The appearance of youth and vitality may be secondary to fans but may take on a different persona for recruits and players...Take a look at that mop on Coach K or Denny Crum, for instance."

You are dead on with that observance. It is the same for almost any modern workplace. Thus, the rise of the metrosexual.

BTW, how about Gene Keady's cranial disaster as support of your theory? I don't even think he could fool himself with that.

Memphis finds no proof former player cheated

What I would like to know is how someone becomes a "stand-in" SAT test taker. How does one apply for or get approached for that job?

Seriously, though. It's been a long time since I took that test, but I remember being in a huge gymnasium with lots of other people. I had to provide multiple forms of ID when checking in. How does someone pass themselves off as a very prominent athlete without raising any suspicions? It has to be pretty obvious that a body either is or is not Derrick Rose at check-in time. Perhaps athletes take the exam in private? Just wondering.

Prep star delays decision

Nothing new to add here. Just wanted to make it an even 300 posts. As you were.

Jayhawks basking in glow

About Whitlock's article, I interpreted it as a Keegan-esque article hoping to keep that chip on this young team's shoulder. You know, the whole lack of respect angle.

He is certainly inflammatory with his writing, but he's usually pro-Kansas.

Kansas has no chance

I seem to remember a #6 seeded team that had to go through K-State, Duke, and Oklahoma on the way to a championship in 1988...three teams that beat them in the regular season.

Despite the tone of this article, I would suggest if the team that beat Missouri and Oklahoma a couple weeks back comes to play in this tourney, a Final Four run isn't out of the question at all.

FINAL: Dunn's 24 points lead Baylor to upset over top-seeded KU, 71-64

Well, that sucked.
