Besides the National Championship game, Jalen Wilson says the K-State comeback in Manhattan was his favorite moment of the year.
“Little bro thought they were going to win that game, big bro had to step in.”

I get chills remembering this Bill Self video a few years ago.
He tells
@KU_Football
that its goal is to build a winning football program by creating a winning culture and laying a foundation of hard work.
Christian Braun (

) tells me he will test the NBA Draft waters. He expects to make the official announcement on Sunday.

is now 26-1 when Dajuan Harris has 10 or more points.
It’s clear as day, the Jayhawks are better when he isn’t just a pass first point guard.
BORDER WAR: When Christian Braun was just 7-years-old he showed his family how much he hated Missouri.
Here’s what happened (exclusive) and also what his mom thinks about the rivalry — I think you’ll be surprised:

Not only for big ops like this, but to have a faculty who always say yes. I love it here. Thank you.
Jayhawks may be rare, but they are everywhere. Met a class act today with strong Kansas ties. It was great to meet you coach (

Early December I took it upon myself to write a story about a Kansas high school basketball team I know very well,
@BVNW_Hoops
. A story about a hall-of-fame coach and 20 of his players going onto play college basketball across the country. (1/2)
“I think a big thing is he’s loved Kansas his whole life, so he will take pride in winning at Kansas.”
Christian Braun (
@Ballin25Braun
) tells me how he thinks Gradey Dick (
@gradey_dick
) will impact next year’s
@KUHoops
team.
Story coming soon via

Kansas' Christian Braun with a nice showing in the on the move 3-point shooting drill. Helped himself today with the toughness he brought defensively and the IQ he showed as a passer. Has a lot of NBA fans here.
Champs. Remy Martin. That’s it.
Martin: I didn’t come to Kansas to go to the Final Four, I came to win a national Championship.
Done.

Clemence also noted that he cannot wait to step on the Kansas floor with Dick.
It could just be that I notice more, but out of the two days I have been at

@KUHoops
went 28-of-31 tonight from the FT line, or 90.3%.
That’s the best FT% the Jayhawks have had in a single game in the last 13 plus years, on at least 30 FT attempts.
(p.s. I went as far back as sports reference would talk me).
I think I’m most excited for Dajuan Harris and Kevin McCullar today.
MU didn’t even offer Harris and he has a chance to shut them up in his hometown. And McCullar has no vested interest in the rivalry, but brings veteran experience and grit - it’s going to be needed.
Cody Williams of

Thank you,

Thank you for a year of lifelong memories. Thank you for a cohort with 25 amazing friends. Thank you for endless opportunities to grow as a journalist. Thank you for believing in me.
It's not a goodbye, but a see ya later. Cheers to new beginnings!
📍 Lawrence: Feels great to be back. I have been gone the last 18 of 26 days!
All for good reason — Rock Chalk.
I’ll say it one more time for good measure,

Over the past 3 years, all I have ever done in journalism is report. But, on Thursday, I produced/solo anchored my first show.
Lots of things to work on, but to have the opportunity at

1% better.
@cronkitenews
I easily could have gone without posting about covering my last
@KUHoops
game for

To my fellow editors, correspondents and most importantly, my adviser, Rob. Thank you for always believing in me, trusting me, respecting me and providing me with lifelong memories. Without you Rob, my experience would not have been the same!
Thrilled to share that I will be interning with
@12SportsAZ
this spring! Thank you
@jmschneider53
for the opportunity. I cannot wait to contribute content to an accomplished team.
How fitting would it be for

Night of my junior year
@BVNW_Hoops
banquet,
@coachedfritz
went around the room and said something about every player…it got to

and he said “he will be the best player to ever come out of this school.”
He was right, never a doubt.
Goat coach. Goat player.
Christian Braun is now one of 16 players ever to win a high school, college and NBA title.
He’s the second from Kansas, Lucious Allen is the other.
History made.
