Sportsbook and BetUS have minimal, boring odds up on Thursday's draft. Luckily, Bodog comes through with an extensive selection.While I am trying to determine what is and isn't a good bet, please be advised that my knowledge of the situation comes from reading this Chad Ford column, and looking at   more...

Oh what a night. We may have had to wait longer than we had in past years, but the Celtics made their first round pick at #30 and selected J.R. Giddens out of New Mexico. The pick left Jughead, JB, and The Duke flabbergasted after spending much of the first half of the Draft Show talking about   more...

Player matchups:Derrick Rose vs. Mario Chalmers-Derrick Rose rarely turns over the ball and makes challenging plays look easy. While Mario Chalmers is the player I feel will be the one to take the crucial if Kansas is in a tight one, Derrick Rose's strength and athleticism will be too much.   more...

Juniors Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur declared themselves eligible for the NBA Draft today, meaning Kansas will be losing four starters from the National Championship team if Mario Chalmers bolts for the NBA as well. Rush, who declared last year, has given up his eligibility regardless of signing   more...

Mario Chalmers forces overtime with a spectacular shot that will surely be remembered in title game history, and in doing so helps Kansas and Bill Self finally win it all. But does that make Kansas a historic team?

The Jayhawks are losing two outstanding players in Darrell Arthur and Brandon Rush. As a Jayhawk Nation we can not be upset since they did bring a national championship home. They will be dearly missed but will be representatives for Kansas and should represent well in the pros. We also can not   more...

It is decision time for some of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball players: Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Sherron Collins, and Mario Chalmers. If all four come back next year, there is a good chance the Kansas Jayhawks could repeat for the first time since ... 2007 when the Florida Gators repeated.   more...

Can you believe that for the first time in NCAA Tournament history all 4 #1 seeds made it to the Final Four? With all of the upsets in this year's tournaments, the 3 double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16, the #1 seeds still came out on top. I think all college basketball fans had a feeling that this   more...

The Magical number 2:12. That is how much time Memphis needed to burn through to become national champions. Big Problem: Kansas did not want to end their season with a 60-51 deficit. Sherron Collins' play was the turning point for the Jayhawks run when he stole the ball from Antonio Anderson and   more...
