KU in the Sweet 16!

KU Jayhawks made it into the Sweet 16 yesterday after beating the Dayton Flyers by a score of 60-43. The third seeded 'Hawks are doing pretty well in the tournament. After bringing back no starters from the championship team of 08, the Hawks are hungry for good showing in the Big Dance.

Cole Aldrich pictured above had a triple double in yesterday's game. He score 13 points, 10 blocks, and 20 rebounds. It was record setting!! For the game Collins scored 25 points, followed by Tyrel Reed (pictured with Cole) with 9, Mario Little with 7, Tyshawn Taylor with 3, Markieff Morris 2 pts., and Tyronne Appleton with 1. Coach Self even got to rest the starters and bring in the bench team.

The next opponent for the 'Hawks will be a familiar one, in the Michigan State Spartans. KU played them in January and lost. Hopefully this next game the result will be different and KU will be able to win.

Coach Self and the rest of the coaches will be working the team hard no doubt and they will be ready for their 8:30 PM start in Indianapolis on Friday. Rock Chalk Jayhawks!
