The Kansas Jayhawks are quickly becoming one of the big stories of the 2007 edition of March Madness. After a 107-67 thrashing of Niagara on Friday night, the 'Hawks put their big game faces on today to defeat the winningest program in the history of college basketball, the Kentucky Wildcats. Kansas is the third all time winning college program garnering their 1,905th victory today.
Kansas heads to San Jose to meet Southern Illinois out of the Missouri Valley Conference on Thursday evening in the round of 16. UCLA and Pittsburgh play in the second game with the winners meeting on Saturday for the right to go to the Final Four in Atlanta.
Kansas has developed into a true team. Egos are left in the locker room each game and these guys come onto the court with a single mission in mind. It has been a true joy to watch this team develop over the past two seasons. They are a great example of what a real team can accomplish - a great example for all of us regardless of the business in which we work.
The Jayhawks' business right now is winning basketball games and they are four victories away from college basketball's promised land.
Yes Siree, Marching on with that Mission in mind. This team can go all the way.
