THE FACTS about Kansas Jayhawks and Their Road to the Championship
I have heard people talk about how easy our road to the Final Four and the Championship was. How UCLA, North Carolina and Memphis had to play better teams. I know these people are haters, and we are the National Champions, but I looked into the truth about our path to greatness, and this is what I discovered.

The teams we beat had an overall record of 175 - 43. I think that is about an %80 winning percenatge. Using espn.com for reference, here are some more facts.

Portland State (23-10)- Big Sky Conference Champions

UNLV (27-8)- Mountain West Tournament Champions

Villanova (22-13)- Finished season ranked #24 in the country (and were a 12 seed)

Davidson (29-7)- The Southern Conference Champs(undefeated in conference) - Finished the season ranked #9 (and were a 10 seed) They beat the West Coast Conference Champs (Gonzaga)in the NCAA Tournament, they beat the Big East Conference Champs (Georgetown)in the NCAA Tournament, and they beat the Big 10 Conference Champs (Wisconsin)in the NCAA Tournament

North Carolina (36-3)- The ACC Conference Champions - Finished the season ranked #3

Memphis (38-2)- Conference USA Champions (undefeated in conference)- Set record for most wins in a season - Finished the season ranked #2.

Out of 6 games, we beat 4 Top 25 teams (3 in the Top Ten) and the other two were a combined 50-18 and were either regular season Conference Champs (Portland State) or post-season Conference Tournament Champs (UNLV.) The only team we played that was not a Conference Champ was Villanova, and they finished the season ranked #24 http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings?poll=2

That is definately not an easy road, and actually looks quite impressive when laid out.

So, in conclusion, ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK

Congrats again, Hawk fans.
Yep just like in 03, hawks couldnt make FT's, Syracuse had a ton of luck on thier side, with McNamara hitting ridiclous 3 after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3,after 3 Well you get the point......

Only guy that showed up at the FT line was Big Jeff Gravey...

Sounds like something KSCC fan would say...

OH they are hanging a banner at AFHW saying "We beat the 2008 National Champions for the first time in 25 years at home!"

I have KState friends that take pride that they beat the National Champs. What a great accomplishment. Look how it helped out OSU.

Absolutely, I'm not knocking it. All the same, for a school with little basketball tradition, we are thrilled with our two NC's and the promise of future success that comes with Billy Donovan at the helm.

But when the "we're one of only two teams" statements come out, I'm obligated to point out that one accomplishment was a little higher than the other (moreso if you take into account that our bball team went on to win it again).

Same deal here. I have friends who are Tennessee alum and they spout off about how they beat our 2x bball NC team 3 out of 4 times. Good for them. We were NC's. They weren't.

I guess you do what you can to twist the facts in your teams favor.

Same here. I am will take another BCS win from football this year and be just as thrilled...

Crap I will take a Cotton bowl win from KU this year in football and another FF in basketball.

Which with the departures coming from KU to the NBA, It will be awful hard for KU to get back to the FF... UNLESS, Chalmers and Aurthur come back.
