ESPN loving on the Jayhawks
Even though ESPN has made pretty much everything pay-per-view in the last year or so, their stuff is still worth checking out from time to time.
Today is Jayhawk love day, or perhaps Jayhawk lust day. Sunday will determine whether it was more than just a twinkle in the eye of Disney/ABC/ESPN/Pixar.
First, Pat Forde says that the ‘Hawks are on the rise:
Ready to rise: Kansas (9). Record now: 14-6, 5-2. Projected record heading into postseason: 21-8, 12-4. The Jayhawks haven’t learned how to close out a close game — their record in games decided by single digits is a gruesome 0-5 — but that should change this month, as Bill Self’s talented baby birds continue to grow up.
And second, we actually appear to be close to hitting the Power 16. That will be the day.

Hey, I don’t know if anyone saw, but SI just gave Russ Rob some love. The writer basically said he was responsible for the rejuvenation of KU this year. I completely agree. Let’s go Hawks!!!

Sorry guys there is no link to that article, because its in this week’s magazine. But here’s exactly what it says.
“Russell Robinson is rejuvenating Kansas. Porr perimeter plan has plagued the callow Jawhawks this season, but Robinson, a 6′1″ sophmore point guard, had a total of 42 points on 11-of-15 shooting last week as Kansas (13-6) beat Texas A&M and Iowa State.”
This is short but Sweet!!
