Jayhawk Flashback: Missouri, 3/5/2000

A discussion in the office led me to this week’s Jayhawk Flashback, an 83-82 Kansas victory over Missouri on March 5, 2000. The original curiosity came from trying to remember which game included that crazy dunk where the Mizzou guy flew over the KU guy but still was called for a ...

Billy Thomas’ Jayhawk Flashback: UMass, 12/10/97

Brandon Rush’s Jayhawk Flashback: Kentucky, 1/7/2006

Welcome to a special Jayhawk Flashback. The next two blogs won't feature my choice for a classic KU game, but instead a former Jayhawk's choice as his favorite Allen Fieldhouse memory. We'll get to Billy Thomas' choice next week, but this week we'll focus on current Indiana Pacer Brandon ...
