DEFINING MOMENT
As a kid growing up in Leavenworth, Simien dreamed of days like March 12, 2004. On that day, Kansas trounced Missouri 94-69 in Dallas in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal. Simien was nearly perfect, scoring 31 points on 12 of 14 shooting, grabbing 11 rebounds and sinking all seven free throw attempts.
Larry Brown
AT KANSAS

DEFINING MOMENT
Danny and the Miracles. The 1988 NCAA champion Jayhawks under Brown, led by Manning, were heavy underdogs against the division rival Oklahoma Sooners. But Manning dominated, earning the game's Most Outstanding Player award by scoring 31 points and grabbing 18 rebounds and five steals. With Manning's two game-clinching free throws, the Jayhawks trumped the Sooners 83-79 in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., Manning was mauled by everyone in the building as Jayhawk fight songs roared.
In the CBS post-game interview, with thick rimmed glasses covering half of his face, Brown didn't have much to say to analyst Bill Packer.
"I don't know how to say national champs." Brown said. "But I'm gonna learn how."
