Team Information
The University of Kansas men’s basketball team is primed and ready to continue its winning ways. Those lucky enough to have Jayhawks tickets are in for a ride as KU is reloaded and ready to write their own chapter in Kansas’ storied history. Under the direction of head coach Bill Self, the Jayhawks have a roster full of young talent with a couple of seniors to help them become the next great Jayhawks team. The Allen Fieldhouse is sure to be one of the best places to see a game this year.
Kansas basketball has had all sorts of success in its long history, beginning in 1898 with Dr. James Naismith, the game’s inventor and KU’s first head coach. The basketball Hall of Fame was eventually named after Naismith. Ten years after the program was started, Naismith stepped down to become director of physical education and it was one of Naismith’s former players, KU alumni Forrest “Phog” Allen who took over the team two years after Naismith told Allen he was a player not a coach. Allen went on to coach the Jayhawks for the next 39 years, leading the team to 590 wins during his career. The Allen Fieldhouse was named in honor of the head coach in 1955. Throughout their history, the Jayhawks have made 34 NCAA tournament appearances, and have gone 73-34 in the 107 NCAA tournament games they have played. KU has made it to the Final Four twelve times and has 9 Final Four victories.
Though Kansas had technically been national champions in 1922 and 1923, their first NCAA championship came in 1952 as Allen led his team to finally win the tournament he had helped to create. KU’s other NCAA championship came in 1988 under the direction of head coach Larry Brown. Brown, who was head coach at the University of Kansas between 1984 and 1988, has since become one of the NBA’s most successful coaches since KU’s Danny Manning scored 31 points to beat Oklahoma and win the tournament. Some of Kansas basketball’s famous alumni include NBA players Paul Pierce, Drew Gooden, and Nick Collision. None however are better known than Wilt Chamberlain who played for the Jayhawks in 1957 and 1958 before becoming the NBA rookie of the year, the NBA’s most valuable player, and the only NBA player to score an unbelievable 100 points in one game.
Last year the Jayhawks started off strong led by seniors Wayne Sinien, Aaron Mile, and Keith Langford. They open the season with a 14-0 record, stuttering briefly as Simien lost some time due to an injury, but rebounded to finish with a 23-7 record and tying Oklahoma with a big 12 best 12 conference wins. The Jayhawks finished the year with a staggering 34th trip to the NCAA tournament. Kansas faces a big challenge this year as all three stars from last year have moved on and Christian Moody, originally a walk-on, is the only returning starter from last year’s team and joins Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson as the only seniors on the team.
With no Juniors on the team, coach Self hopes to use the teams youth to it’s advantage, building a new dynasty and making for an exciting experience for Jayhawks ticket holders this year.
