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.
