Jayhawks pull off impressive 2nd half comeback in Waco

Struggling on the boards, and having turnover troubles, this number two ranked team in the nation looked like they were going to lose this game after the end of the first half, though for a panda that has watched Bill Self coach the Jayhawks to 11 straight regular season conference championships I knew he had some special words to change the fate of this game. With great defense that in fairness did only start showing up after an 8 point deficit in the 2nd half with the Baylor Bears looking like their zone D was doing everything to stop the Kansas Jayhawks on their quest for 12 conference championships in a row, here they came with shut down D, and at one point giving Baylor a 6 minute drought in points. Even the announcers said at a point in the game they looked to be learning things they could use in March, which is nice to hear as a lifelong fan of this historic organization, though it will take a win against Texas Tech at the PHOG on Saturday for them to share the conference title, yes if they win one more out of the next three before the beginning of the conference tournament in Kansas City, they will be sharing a regular season conference title. Though in essence the Jayhawks this year want much more than that, that is only one of the stepping stones on their way to a hopeful national title, for what else do college basketball players really thirst for other than the top of the world in the NCAAM of basketball? So on that note, Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!!! Panda Out!!!
