TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q2. How many three-point shots has Taylor made in this season's NCAA Tournament?
A: None
THE MORNING BREW Higher expectations for the Jayhawks
When I arrived on campus four years ago, it was on the tails of the 2008 National Championship. The basketball team was optimistic even though it was about to lose all five starters from the team that won the championship. I didn't know when, but I was sure that sometime during my four years of college, Kansas would make it to the Final Four.
That first year, they had an unfortunate matchup in the Sweet 16 with eventual National Championship runner-up Michigan State. Not even a 20-point effort from Sherron Collins could lift the team to victory.
This was followed by the back-to-back disappointing losses that linger in the minds of all Jayhawk fans. Last year's loss to VCU in the Elite Eight was especially hard, because I thought the Jayhawks were the most talented team left in the tournament.
It was also hard, because with the departure of four starters, the Jayhawk
line-up did not look on paper like a team that would be able make a deep tournament run.
As the season went on, although I was always on alert for a stomach-punch game, the way the team was playing made the hope I thought had died begin to return. The key was not getting my hopes too high, but the thought still lingered in the back of my mind.
When the game began yesterday, butterflies bounced around in my stomach. But when the Jayhawks played well early on, the nerves disappeared. For the first
time all tournament, the Jayhawks didn't start sloppy. Actually, the quick pace was exciting. It was fun watching the Jayhawks and Tar Heels go back and forth.
But as the clock started to wind down, foul trouble piled up, and I wondered to myself, "Could the Jayhawks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Would foul trouble derail the Jayhawks and end my time as a student fan in disappointment?"
The heartbreak of the past two seasons entered my mind. The Jayhawks went on a run and my fears were squashed.
As Jayhawk fans, we are spoiled. We expect our team to win it all every year, and everything less is viewed as a disappointment. Eight straight conference titles is an amazing achievement, yet every year we've come to expect the Jayhawks to come out on top.
Most schools rarely make it to the Final Four, but this is Kansas' second appearance in five years. But the sustained
success is why the expectations are so high. Most students would be thrilled to make multiple trips to the Sweet Sixteen during their time in school, or even making the tournament every year.
At smaller schools, a birth — simply making the tournament — is an achievement in itself.
But then again, Kansas isn't "most places," and when a school is competing for the title of the most storied program, sustained success isn't good enough; it's greatness that counts. And greatness is measured by making it to, and winning, in the final weekend.
