The storied history that is KU basketball is revealed in this
compilation of the most critical moments and important facts about past
and present players, coaches, and teams. Most Kansas basketball fans
have attended games at Allen Fieldhouse, seen highlights of a young Paul
Pierce, and remember watching the Jayhawks cut down the net in 2008. But
only real fans know the origins of the Rock Chalk Jayhawk Chant, where
the Jayhawks played prior to calling Allen Fieldhouse home, and can name
the former Jayhawk who went on to earn the Republican nomination for
president. Scattered throughout the pages are pep talks, records, and
Jayhawks lore, including lyrics to "I'm a Jayhawk"; stories from Wilt
Chamberlain's years at Kansas; Phog Allen's 39 seasons on the Kansas
bench; Roy Williams' memorable 15-year run, including three trips to the
Final Four. Whether a die-hard fan from the days of Larry Brown or a new
supporter of Bill Self and Mario Chalmers, readers will find that this
book contains everything Jayhawks fans should know, see, and do in their
lifetime.
