Permanent banner unveiled tonight
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas has celebrated its NCAA championship in a number of ways in the seven months since defeating Memphis 75-68.
There's been a ring ceremony, a White House visit and a parade. Tonight will serve as another reminder of the championship when the permanent National Championship banner is lifted on the north end of Allen Fieldhouse.
Junior guard Sherron Collins, for one, will never get tired of these tributes.
"Every time something like that happens, it makes me think of the team last year," Collins said, "and how appreciative I was of how those guys took me on a great team like that."
Kansas already unveiled a temporary banner at Late Night in the Phog on the opposite side of Allen Fieldhouse. It will remain there for the rest of the season.
The new banner, however, will rest alongside the four other national championship banners forever. The event will also be televised live on ESPN approximately 12 minutes before Kansas tips off against Florida Gulf Coast at 8 p.m.
The Athletics Department altered the pre-game schedule so this year's team could be present for the ceremony before the game. Kansas coach Bill Self is urging fans to show up to see the banner.
"They've adjusted it so we can be out there," Self said. "So 1 encourage all fans to get out there early. It should be special."
JOHNSON JOINS JAYHAWKS
Elijah Johnson, a point guard
from Las Vegas, signed his letter of intent on Monday to attend Kansas and play basketball next season.
Johnson verbally committed to the jayhawks a month ago after Late in the Phog. Johnson, however, opted not to sign his letter of intent on National Signing Day last Wednesday because his father wouldn't have been able to attend the ceremony.
Self said Johnson, who rivals. com ranks as the No. 27 player in the nation, was one of the most athletic players in the nation.
"He has a chance to be a terrific player," Self said. "Athletically, he'll have very few equals."
Self said he knew Johnson wanted to come to Kansas even before he verbally committed. Johnson's other finalists were Oklahoma and Texas before making his decision in October.
"We've been recruiting Elijah for a long time," Self said. "We tried to get him to commit last year and we couldn't get it done."
Kansas now officially has one remaining scholarship for next year's class. Xavier Henry, an Oklahoma City shooting guard who ESPN ranks as the top player in the nation, remains Kansas' primary target.
Henry is choosing between Kansas and Memphis. The Jayhawks are also still targeting Jersey City, N.J. shooting guard Dominic Cheek, rivals.com's No. 16 player in the nation, and New York shooting guard Lance Stephenson, rivals. com's No. 9 player in the nation.
Michael Snaar, a shooting guard from Moreno Valley, Calif. and No. 11 player in the nation, considered Kansas a finalist before choosing Florida State Friday.

Injuries, special teams contribute to Chiefs' losses
And special teams breakdowns have contributed to all four losses.
KANSAS CITY - The past four weeks have seen the injury-battered Kansas City Chiefs lose after taking a lead.
The defense has been hardest hit with injuries. But special teams also have suffered with a host of new players on punt and kickoff units every weeks.
Special teams coach Mike Priefer says his job is to do a better job coaching his players.
He says it's one thing when one or two players that are out with injuries. But he says it's different when there are four or five positions on the special teams units that are completely different from the week before.
Special teams captain Jon McGraw says injuries can't become an excuse.
Tourney draws big names, but is the Classic pointless?
But he acknowledges the situation is challenging.

It's a tournament! It's a "Classic!" It's a loosely connected series of games played over the course of 12 days! Whatever the O'Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic is, it's weird.
For program details and application information,
That odd process begs the question, "What the hell is the point of the CBE Classic?"
Kansas' weekend victory against UMKC and tonight's tilt against Florida Gulf Coast are part of the CBE Classic's Regional Rounds, played at on-campus sites. Next Monday's game against Washington marks the beginning of the Classic's final two rounds, played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Thing is, the Regional Rounds and Final Rounds don't really have anything to do with one another. No matter what happens to regional hosts Kansas, Washington, Florida and Syracuse during the first two "rounds," they'll all advance to Kansas City.
Whatever the point is, there's no denying the strength of the CBE Classic's field. The quasi-tournament boasts the winners of the past three NCAA Tournaments in Florida and Kansas. Washington went to the Elite Eight in 2005 and 2006 and has sent the NBA a first-round draft pick each of the last three years. Syracuse hails from the nation's best conference, the Big East, and has the name recognition that comes with coach Jim Boeheim — 772 wins in 23 seasons at 'Cause.
