WHAT JUST HAPPENED
-
So, what happened yesterday?
-
The record for consecutive conference championships had been UCLA’s for 39 years, until we broke that streak yesterday.
-
Breaking that record took 14 years, with 14 different teams, with many different players.
-
This record belongs to the teams that went onto play for the national championship, as well as the teams that left the NCAA tournament early. This includes a national championship, as well as a national runner up.
-
The teams included a slew of all- B12 players, B12 players of the year, and one National player of the year.
-
This year’s team did not “set the record”, they simply finished what was started 14 years ago. Every KU player, past and present, that is walking around with a B12 conference championship ring contributed to this streak. This victory is as much a victory for DG, Svi, and the gang, as it is to Mario, Sherron, and Shady, and TRob, and Wayne, and Perry, Frank, and Tyshawn, and JJ, and Joel, and Brandon, and all the rest.
-
The one constant in the whole equation has been an Okie that loves KU with all his heart and soul, that has brought a passion for excellence to our amazing program. And that is our Hall Of Fame head coach…Bill Self.

And a Hall of Fame Coach who has NEVER been swept. That is just an amazing stat to me.
-
@BShark that scares me!
-
@KUSTEVE That just happened!
Oh, and it was done by one coach vs. several, a record that is all his own and sets him above Wooden, Bobby Knight, Coach K, Roy, Izzo, Cal, Tubby, Rupp, Dean et al.

I was looking for weird images because of the thread title. I don’t even know what it’s from.

8 straight road wins over top 10 teams really might be just as impressive as the 14 is. I didn’t realize KU had done that.
Another streak KU set a record in, last season I believe, that’s gotten little to no publicity is KU’s consecutive NCAA tournament made streak.
Even more impressive than the NCAA tournament streak to me has been where KU has been seeded in each tournament. Only twice during KU’s consecutive NCAA tournament streak has KU been lower than a 4 seed. Those 2 seasons happened back to back in the 1999 and 2000 tournaments. That’s just mind blowing to me tgat KU has been that highly ranked in the NCAA Tournament every year. That’s another streak that may never get broken as well.

@BShark well ok?

My favorite quote: “Winning at Allen Fieldhouse is rare, so just know that if you pull it off, you’re trading that upset for a home loss vs. the Jayhawks that same season.”
