KU celebrates Senior Night with 7th title
TIM DWYER originally published in 2010
It's supposed to be a feelgood night - Senior Night is. The seniors are supposed to have grins on their faces as they give their speech after beating some Big 12 foe. They're supposed to be able to crack jokes and get laughs, even if the jokes aren't that funny.
The smiles were there Wednesday, just like they're supposed to be.
And it seems they were a little bit wider when the Jayhawks clinched their seventh consecutive Big 12 title on the same night. It's a streak unmatched since UCLA's untouchable run of 13 consecutive Pac-10 championships, which ended in 1979.
"It is amazing," Self said. "I don't think anybody's won seven in a row. And of course, they had 13, and we aren't getting 13."
Thirteen may be out of reach by Self's count, but there's plenty of pride to
be had in seven, which no team has accomplished since the advent of the three-point line in college basketball.
When the Jayhawks don't lose at home, that's
And talk about impressive: With this title, Self now has as many losses at Allen Fieldhouse as he does consecutive conference championships. That stat speaks to Self 's unerring consistency and a primary reason why the Jayhawks are so difficult to top in conference play.
eight conference wins. Go at least .500 on the road
- the worst conference record in the streak was 12-4 - and it's tough for anyone else to claim the crown.
"This is the best place to play in the world, believe it or not," senior guard Brady Morningstar said.
The Jayhawks can say they are the best team in the conference again, and Morningstar, hesitantly did just that.
"I mean," he said, pausing. "Yeah."
He didn't want to say yes, it seems, because the title isn't theirs alone just yet, so the Jayhawks aren't happy. A loss at Missouri and a Texas win at Baylor this Saturday would mean a split title with the Longhorns, the only Big 12 team the Jayhawks haven't beat this season.
"It's a pretty good accomplishment," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "But we've still got business to take care of Saturday. We don't like sharing our titles."
