TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. What was the most points junior guard Travis Releford scored in one game?
A: 28 against Oklahoma on Jan. 7.
THE MORNING BREW Recalling the players in their long journey
It was a season that will stay permanently with those who followed along. The Kansan men's basketball team didn't have much instant talent, but that's what made the season-long success so easy to root for. I covered the team from its first exhibition game against Pittsburg State to its loss in the national championship game against Kentucky. Like many of you, I witnessed Thomas Robinson's block and the eventual victory against Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse. I was there when Jeff Withey dominated Ohio State's Jared Sullinger in New Orleans. But when you have the fortunate position to talk with the players and coach Bill Self for an entire season and sit courtside to watch it all transpire, you harness an appreciation for some of the things that don't glisten or make the post-game replay.
I'll remember talking to Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson in the
Fieldhouse on the team's media day. Taylor promised that he spent the summer practicing jump shots. Johnson said that his shot was like butter on a steak. I'm still not sure what he meant by that, but it oozed confidence and readiness for a long season. Taylor proved himself quickly, but it was the turnovers, not the shot that had fans worried. Well, both the shot and the turnovers were in order by conference season, so Taylor had one of the finest
senior seasons in Kansas history. Some hinted that maybe he, not Robinson should be named the conference player of the year. Johnson took a little while, but by the postseason, he was also playing some beautiful, clutch basketball.
I think about Jeff Withey after the loss at Missouri, face grim behind a cold sweat. He didn't score a point that night and was hardly playable. Not long after, he established himself as the conference's defensive player of the year. He was fouling less, staying on the floor against different kinds of lineups and blocking nearly anyone who challenged him. After he recorded 10 blocks against North Carolina State in the Sweet 16 and his team was one game away from the Final Four, Withey was the absolute man in the locker room. All the television cameras flocked. Reporters with pens, pads and recorders danced around one another just to
get his quote. Withey shook his head and smiled, submerging himself in the joy that comes after a game well played.
After losing the title game to Kentucky, Thomas Robinson had few words. He probably knew his time in that Kansas jersey was done. Even more so, he knew how hard his team fought to get where no one thought they'd be. Conner Teahan had to pause after a question about his teammates. He ducked his head and had to pour tears that developed over years of watching, waiting and finally playing. It was all he had left.
