When I say on the road, I really mean on the road. While the Garden was a neutral site for all four teams, Kansas supporters were definitely the minority. The only way one could find the Kansas section was to find the small group of people that weren't wearing Carolina light blue, Massachusetts maroon or Minnesota maroon and gold. There was, however, a small handful of Jayhawk fans who waved tiny red pompon from time to time. Nice try.
Most say respect is something that is earned. After my trip to New York and the Presseason National Invitational Tournament at Madison Square Garden, a few things stick out in my mind concerning respect and earning it.
Humble pie was served at NIT
Kansas was the only school that had no band, no cheerleaders and no mascot. Hardly more than the players themselves wore the crimson and blue. It was embarrassing to see three sections on the floor of the Garden painted in school colors, and one section spattered with colors of no order or significance.
Respect.
Are there no East Coast Kansas alumni? Even if there aren't any (but I know there is), it wasn't just a meager showing of fans. The school deserves some blame as well.
First, Roy Williams' 1993-94 basketball team earned much respect. I know that Kansas dodged a bullet (more like a cannon ball) with Massachusetts' 91-86 defeat of North Carolina, but still this very young and inexperienced Kansas team went on the road for the first time and wont two tough games.
Now I know it was Thanksgiving, and holidays are to be spent with families, but I'm pretty sure it was Thanksgiving in Minnesota, North Carolina and Massachusetts, too.
The Jayhawks were booed and heckled in their games while Minnesota and Massachusetts players were cheered-on like it was homecoming.
Williams and the Hawks, with their four freshman and numerous other inexperienced players, kept their poise and earned respect while shutting the mouths of thousands of anti-Kansas fans en route to the NIT title.
Respect from press row
During the games at the Garden, I was seated next to John C. Manuel of the Daily Tarheel.
I can admit my prejudices, and I am against promoting stereotypes of any kind, but Mr. Manuel's arrogance was overflowing. I wouldn't be surprised if his confidence is shared by, or even a result of, his peers at Chapel Hill, N.C.
"Who was better last year, Michigan or us?" he asked.
As I was diligently taking notes during the Kansas-Minnesota game, John felt inclined to continuously yap in my ear about his beloved Tar Heels.
I told him what he wanted to hear—that the better team won the game.
"So what do you think of our team this year?" John said.
7 Days a week
I told him that on paper. North Carolina was definitely the best team in college basketball this year.
"Do you think we'll lose a game this year?" he asked me.
"Carolina could lose tonight against Massachusets," I said.
I told him of course North Carolina would lose a game, no team can go through the Atlantic Coast Conference, or most any other conference, undefeated. I told him anyone could lose on any night.
He laughed.
Then, he started in on the Jayhawks. "Who is this Ostertag?" He sure gets a lot of hotpe, "John said. 'Is he for real?' I told him that I hoped he was.
"I hope you guys win so he can face Montross (North Carolina's All-America center), and we'll see if he's for real," he said.
At halftime of the Carolina-Massachusetts game, the Big Apple was calling me to take a bite, so I left the Garden. I was shocked when I saw the last minute of Massachusetts' overtime victory from a television inside a tavern.
So after being served a Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing feast by my friend's family in New Jersey, I found that the best dish, served by yours truly, was yet to come.
Upon arriving at the Garden on Friday night, courtesy of the Massachusetts Minutemen, I served a fat piece of humble pie to my friend John from North Carolina.
"It's too bad the Tar Heels lost, then you could have seen that Ostertag is for real," I said.
So much for the undefended season, John. On his behalf though, he ate it like a man and said the Minutemen had earned his respect.
Team ends season at nationals

WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
The Kansas women's cross country team had something extra to be thankful for during the Thanksgiving weekend. The team finished its season with its first ever trip to the NCAA Cross Country Championships Nov. 22 in Bettlehem, Pa.
The team came in 22nd with 471 points in the 22-team meet. Villanova won the meet with 66 points, and cross country power Arkansas came in second with 71 points. The lowest score wins in cross country meets. Conference rivals Colorado and Nebraska came in 14th and 20th respectively.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said that the team had hoped to run better but that he was proud of the way the team performed in the championship meet.
"We were going against 22 of the best teams in the country," he said. "There wasn't a weak team in the field."
This year's Jayhawk squad was not lacking in big meet experience. The Jayhawks ran against 11 of the 22 teams competing in the national meet during the regular season.
"Nationals are a different kind of big meet," Schwartz said. "There is usually a weak team or two in most meets; there really wasn't a weak team in this meet."
Schwartz said another factor that affected the team's performance was injuries to two key runners. Junior Kristi Kloster fell at the end of the race after aggravating a knee injury that she had surgery for last summer. Senior Ashley Ace suffered from a foot injury that hampered her performance.
Senior Julia Saul, who came in 65th in her last collegiate cross country meet, said that the team knew it would be tough to place well in its first NCAA championship meet. Saul, who competed in the championship
"It's hard to go in and do well your first time up," Saul said.
meet the last two years as an individual, said that the first championship meet was always difficult.
The experience the team gained this year should help the team next year, she said.
Schwartz agreed that the meet was a good experience for the team which will lose seniors Saul, Ace and Daniela Daggy.
Daggy, who came in 126th at the national meet, said that she thought the team performed about as well as it had expected. She said that the tough schedule this season helped the team deal with the pressure of running against the teams at the meet.
"We didn't go in and freak out," Daggy said. "This experience will definitely help the younger runners."
Schwartz said that winning the district meet and qualifying for nationals was a big step for the program.
"We'd have preferred to take a bigger step," he said. "But we competed with 22 great teams and came in 22nd."
