I am in my late 50s and I don't expect ever to see such a rebounder again. I seriously doubt UK fans in their 20s will see such a player in their lifetimes. He goes on my all-time list with people such as Chuck Hayes and Keith Bogans; players who would run in front of a moving truck to get a ball.

The difference between kansas loss and kansas state win is that kstate players had so much confidence and never stopped attacking the basket. So successful attacking the basket it became a clinic. Kansas played conservative and never took advantage of their lack of size inside. Kansas needs a big man inside that can play defense and score. And rebound. Not a small forward. Also kstate never stopped playing ferocious defense. Even when they got behind. Kansas seemed tentative. Kstate has played tough teams in the conference their ready for a championship run. Because of their ferocious attacking the basket and tough defense. Their primed and ready and skilled and confident. Well coached. Good luck kstate represent the state of Kansas. Sorry Jayhawks maybe next year.
