A really nice, glowing piece from Matt Norlander:

These types of articles alone--not to mention all of the gushing by Dan Shulman, Jay Bilas, and the GameDay crew about AFH and KU's blueblood position at the center of college hoops--make a good case for the idea of an ongoing KU-UK series. It's not only basketball on the highest of stages, it's tremendous publicity for both programs and a major recruiting boost for KU.

I like his idea of alternating a home-and-home around the Champions Classic. The only caveat to my support would be that it would limit our ability to ever schedule a similar series with the other two top bluebloods, Duke and UNC (thought Roy would never allow that while he's there). But maybe that's a non-issue: why give those two schools any extra props or exposure next to us?

Anyway, nice article.

Thoughts from the flock?

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
