While watching this Sunday, remember it's never a guarantee that a college will have a player represent them in sports' most hallowed game. Just look at national powerhouses Alabama and Ohio St., both of whom have exactly zero players in the Super Bowl. With that being said, maximize your opportunities to watch Steven Johnson on the field. Special teams plays might be your time for a bathroom break or twitter feed update, but not on this Sunday. Five years have passed since we saw a Jayhawk play in the Super Bowl, and another five could pass before we see another. Don't miss out.

"I thought the first half we came out very aggressive," junior guard Asia Boyd said. "Second half, we just came out too flat."
The Jayhawks looked fantastic to begin the game. After missing their previous 11 3-point shots dating back to the second half of last week's match-up against Oklahoma State, Kansas made six of its first seven attempts from deep Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks fought hard in a competitive first half that saw 10 lead changes. Even with junior forward Chelsea Gardner neutralized in the post (0-5, 0 points in the first), the Jayhawks were able to stay in the game as the threes kept

Initially, both teams were incredibly sharp from long range. What was thought to be a defensive battle coming in quickly turned into a three-point contest. The two went a combined 13-24 in the first half, trading threes on consecutive possessions several times throughout the game.
But the threes quickly disappeared for Kansas, as it promptly followed its hot start behind the arc by missing another 11 straight to end the game. Texas outscored the Jayhawks by 21 in the second half as the proverbial wheels began to fall off. Kansas was held to only 28.6 percent from the field while allowing the Longhorns to just under 59 percent, including 3-5 from

As the rest of the team fell apart, Gardner finally got things going. After sitting the first half's final five minutes with two personal fouls, a revitalized Gardner was 5-5 shooting for 10 points after the intermission. But that was the peak of the game for the Jayhawks during an otherwise miserable second half performance.
"I think we're disappointed in ourselves as a whole," Boyd said. "We didn't play as hard as we know we could've in the second half."
Outside of Gardner, Kansas was only 3-25 from the field in the second, including 0-7 from three. A crucial 11-0 Texas run midway through the second put the Longhorns up 60-42.

Kansas fell to Oklahoma 64-56 at home on Jan. 22. Their 80-55 loss to Texas on Tuesday marks the second straight home loss for the Jayhawks.
the Jayhawks allowed Texas numerous uncontested looks throughout the game, and more often than not, the Longhorns took advantage. Senior guard Chassidy Fussell led the way with 18 points on 6-9 shooting (4-5 3PG) while junior forward Nneka Enemkpali added a double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds) to

"We've got to learn from today and then probably let go of it," she said. "Myself included."
