There's a basketball tournament that's played annually. I't goes by the very nondescript name -- The Basketball Tournament. Here's the "about" page on the website: www.thetournament.com/about

One of the teams is led (meaning GM'ed and coached) by KU's Morris twins. Playing on the team are Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson and Mario Little (among other non-KU-related players). They go by Team FOE which still connects to the Morris' family over everything motto. Here's a link to the roster: www.thetournament.com/teams/team-foe

The #4 seeded Team FOE is now in the semi-finals of the tournament after beating the #1 seeded team yesterday and will be playing Boeheim's Army which, as you may have guessed is team comprised of mostly Syracuse alum. The Syracuse team also won yesterday.

This match-up will be on Sunday at 12:00 (EST) on ESPN or ESPN2.

I'm just sharing because it gives us some Jayhawk basketball action in mid-July.

They're up by 24 points.

Elijah Johnson has been a beast on defense making Chalmers-esque steals.

Markieff Morris is coaching a great game and has a lot of great sound bytes (he's mic'ed up).

Here's the box score and a quick write-up. The Syracuse alums ended the game on a 40-10 run.

Here are the highlights. Tyshawn Taylor missed a 3 that would have tied it with ~13 seconds left.
