Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

The Kansas Jayhawks, thanks to some incredible 3-point shooting down the stretch, went to Norman, Oklahoma last night and took control of the Big 12 conference by beating the Blake Griffin-less Sooners, 87-78. While there may be some sort of asterisk next to the Kansas’ win, the fact is, the Jayhawks overcame an 14-point [...]
