A good weekend to be a Jayhawk

For all of you who missed the, um, big event, my beloved Jayhawks garnered their first victory over anyone of significance. That's right, the mighty young Jayhawks dismanteled the Cal Golden Bears in the second half to earn a 13-point win.

Going into this epic battle, we were a measly 3-4, licking our wounds after close losses to Arizona, Arkansas, Nevada, and St. Joe's. Not exactly Duke but all of these teams used their significant seniority to show my Hawks that age sometimes outplays talent. This Cal team posed some serious matchup problems for the Hawks such as how to control Powe. Alas, sophomore CJ Giles covered him like a cheap suit and held him below his 25-point per game average.

Again, it's not like we upset Duke or anything. But, this was a solid win for a team that can be seen learning with every trip down the floor. And this team will continue to learn something new every game with Kentucky coming to Allen in the not-so distant future. With all of the growing paing we will endure this season, studs like Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich can be indoctrinated into the fold next year to add more pieces to the puzzle.

They're learning how to win. It's good to be a Jayhawk.
