WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QUOTE OF THE DAY "Coaching where we coach, the pride that exists there, it doesn't matter what the rosters or the faces look like. The expectations don't change." PAGE 11 Bill Self FACT OF THE DAY Starting in 1990, Kansas has earned a bid to the NCAA tournament every year (22 years). espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What two teams were in the championship game the last time the Final Four was in New Orleans? A: Syracuse and Kansas nola.com THE MORNING BREW Highlights from Jayhawks' season outshine loss It's 193 days until the roller coaster begins all over again. Even though the final game ended not quite as we expected on Monday night, the men's basketball season as a whole was a victory. Teams, players, coaches and fans start placing their predictions for March Madness in October, six months before it actually begins. Analysts predict which teams will reach the Final Four and who will win awards. It all culminates in one weekend, when four teams face off in the ultimate showdown. No doubt about it — these six months have been incredible, especially watching the Jayhawks make it all the way to the National Championship. As a fan, watching Kansas games usually results in a heart attack, but it also teaches adversity. The number of times the team came back throughout the season to claim the lead and win is unbelievable. These repeated feats show mental toughness, confidence and the will to persevere. It's easy to give up mentally when situations get tough. It's hard to look past the short-term losses and look forward. It's hard to believe that it's possible. These are life lessons that the players learned and showed the nation this season. It's also something to keep in our minds as we make our way to the end of the semester. Kansas proved that what people say is just what people say. It has little effect on what happens unless we let it affect us. Here's a little recap of Kansas' amazing season: 1. Kansas won its eighth-straight Big 12 Conference Title. 2. Kansas beat Missouri in the last Border Showdown in Allen Fieldhouse. 3. Kansas played three Top 10 teams before the conference season started: Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State. 4. Kansas beat North Carolina in the Midwest regional to advance to the Final Four. 6. Jeff Withey set an NCAA record, with 31 blocks in the tournament. 5. Kansas beat Ohio State, again, to advance to the Championship game. 9. Kansas women's and men's basketball teams both made it to the Sweet 16. 7. Bill Self won the Naismith Coach of the Year award. 8. Thomas Robinson was named Big 12 Player of the Year. And the list goes on. We have some time to recover from the madness,but I want to personally thank the team for an amazing season. We are Kansas.
