It was between Christmas and New Years. The teams gathered together in Kansas City and played the tournament. |
Kemper Arena was brand new my senior year. It was an awesome experience because you can see everybody play and get to talk to them. I really enjoyed that. It's really too bad they don't do that anymore. |
My freshman year I played all point guard. After that I played four different positions because players got sick or injured. Someone did tell me once they saw me playing center my sophomore year. |
My role changed. I was the play-maker again. In college I usually had the toughest defensive assignments. I was back to scoring 20 points a game so it was fun. |
That's something very special to me. I remember one game they announced the player ahead of me and the crowd just exploded. I swear I moved a foot on the bench. |
The few years leading up to that season hadn't been that good. It was a turn-around year. We had good team chemistry. There was a whole new attitude with the new coach. |
The reason for that was, the season before I got there, it was the first year freshmen could play. All those stats that had been collected, those people had been playing for three years. |
The word was that I was going to be drafted by Golden State. But that just didn't happen. So I tried out for a free agent team which I made. |
The year before I got there, KU was in the final four. At that time there were only 32 teams in the tournament. So you had to be one of the best to get in. It wasn't like today where the no. 1 seed plays a 16 seed that barely had a .500 season. |
We had some tough times those couple years. Then finally we put it all together once again. That was great because it was hard to take those next two years. |
We just had a lot of good athletes at the time. We won league in just about everything. It was one of those time periods where top to bottom, senior class to sophomore, there were a lot of good athletes. |
We were blessed with a couple of very good witnesses who saw if from start to finish. |
