THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Our fans' expectations are totally out of whack. Ours actually appreciate guys trying hard, playing hard, conducting themselves in a good way that you don't feel like it's life or death with every game."
Bill Self on the Kansas fan base.

ACT OF THE DAY
Of all their NCAA Tournament games this season, Kansas has led at halftime only once.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Two First Team All-Americans, Thomas Robinson of Kansas, and Anthony Davis of Kentucky, will face each other in the national championship game. How many times previously have a pair of all-Americans squared off against each other in the national title game?
A: Four.
THE MORNING BREW Enjoying the Kansas semi-final victory
M perspective on the Kansas Jayhawks' remarkable run to the NCAA National Championship is unique.
Championship is unique.
I was incredibly fortunate to cover some Jayhawks' games this season, most notably their game at Madison Square Garden in New York City and their first two weekends of the NCAA Tournament in Omaha and St. Louis.
1 was also incredibly fortunate to attend exhilarating Jayhawks' games as a student, including the epic Border Showdown game at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 25,which is publicly regarded as the greatest game in Allen Fieldhouse history.
With that being said, I knew that watching the games and celebrating in Lawrence would be a blast.
A friend of mine was kind enough to invite me to watch the Final Four games at his house on Kentucky Street.
When I watched the Ohio State-Kansas game, I paced back and fourth in front of the TV and took deep, heavy breaths
during timeout breaks because I was a nervous wreck. Moments throughout the game occurred when I dug my head deep into the palms of my hands. The tension in the house was immeasurable, and my heart was trembling faster than the Millennium Falcon's hyper drive speed.
My anxiety quickly turned to ecstasy when Kansas beat Ohio State 64-62 and advanced to the National Championship game. I hugged my friend and high-fived other people jovially at my friend's house. Once we finished our hugs and high fives, we did something that I was
not fortunate enough to do after the Jayhawks' win over the North Carolina Tar Heels. Storm Massachusetts Street.
Storming Mass. Street was a surreal experience that I will cherish forever. I had never experienced anything similar to the mass exodus to downtown Lawrence in my life. I, along with the rest of my fellow Jayhawks, ran like a wild antelope out of control. Very few college students across the country can truly experience running around and screaming out of their lungs in sheer joy with my arms stretch out in public, but that's exactly what I did.
As I gathered with fellow Jayhawks in the epicenter of downtown Lawrence, I deliriously hugged and high-fived all friends I encountered as well as strangers that I'll probably never know or see again. Everybody was everyone's best friend. Naturally, I took videos and photos from my iPhone so I can look back at something when I want to recount this special moment.
I stayed in downtown Lawrence for
more than two and a half hours walking up and down Mass. Street because I did not want the night to end.
Few things in my life can top a Kansas NCAA National Championship victory during my senior year at the University. Don't think for one moment that I would want to miss out on chanting "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU" with thousands of Jayhawk students and fans, hearing the Kansas marching band play the school fight songs and sharing this one-of-a-kind experience with friends and strangers on Mass, Street after a Jayhawks victory.
