EDITOR'S NOTE
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
Anywhere you go on campus, you can find stories about their relationship with this program that defines this institution.
Best part of the year has arrived
Many see it as the apex of the year, when for two hours twice a week, we stop studying or worrying about classes and just enjoy basketball.
These two words all mean something different to every person associated with the University.
Kansas Basketball.
For me, it's always been a major part of what I look forward to each year.
Growing up in Lenea, a mere 30 miles, from Lawrence I was never far away from Allen Fieldhouse.
Much of my childhood, like many kids who grew up in Kansas, revolved around how the Jayhawks season would fare.
It became the routine on weekday nights or Saturday afternoons. Listen to the Jayhawks and see another impressive victory.
As I moved into becoming a journalist, my outlook changed on the Jayhawks. I don't get swept up in the pregame rituals or the mystique of the Fieldhouse while I'm typing away on my computer courtside.
So enjoy flipping through this section and getting acquainted with the Jayhawks that will be followed throughout the next few months.
It's still hard to ignore the history. There are trophies bursting out of the Booth Hall of Athletics, banners covering rafters and pictures plastered on the tunnels of the Fieldhouse.
This is Kansas basketball season folks. Let the crazy ride begin.
Although the basketball season has started, the basketball preview is set up to give information for our readers to use throughout the season.
The section has schedules, Big 12 previews and some posters of some of your favorite Jayhawks.
An important part of our section is to not only highlight the men's basketball season, but also the women's basketball prospects for the season.
