Hi Jim,
Adolph Rupp, the legendary Kentucky coach, also played for Kansas. He grew up in Halstead which is about 45 minutes up the road from me.
In the 50's Kansas had a player named Wilt Chamberlain ... I think he went on to have a decent career in the pros
I graduated in '86 when KU lost to Duke in the semi-finals. Two years later Danny Manning lead the Larry Brown coached 'hawks to the National Championship over Oklahoma.
It was too bad that Roy Williams was never quite able to win a championship in the 4 trips he took Kansas to the Final Four.
And who can forget the 2008 Championship game when Mario Chalmer's sank the 3-pointer to tie Memphis with 3 seconds left and then KU went on to win it in OT
