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...

I don't like the way this game is going right now (31-10 Kansas), Kansas is just quicker to every ball and UNC looks horribly sloppy on offense. Tyler Hansbrough hasn't done shit yet, and the rest of the Carolina big men are getting owned. It's early, but still disconcerting to see the way this   more...

It is decision time for some of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball players: Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Sherron Collins, and Mario Chalmers.
