To this day, I have absolutely no IDEA how teams just somehow magically fall apart in the second half when they've had a double digit lead on KU. Idk how Self does it, but it's absolutely infuriating to watch again and again if you're an opponent.
Coming from an Arkansas fan, I must say that this was one of the classic college basketball games that won't be forgotten for future generations of sports followers! We once played Texas that season, and despite our defeat we fought really hard to the end and congratulated the future draft to the NBA, Kevin Durant, and even he is one of my favorite NBA players, though my #1 favorite is LeBron James, and my team is the Miami Heat!
Anytime I see highlights of this particular team, I remember that absolute stupid decision of Rick Barnes to tell LaMarcus Aldridge to go pro when he wanted to come back and play with Durant. It was the beginning of his downfall at UT. Two future bonafide NBA superstars on the same college team would have been a nightmare for the Big XII even KU.
AJ Abrams had a sweet stroke, unfortunately he wasn't drafted, now if I were a general manager, I could use that beautiful stroke on my squad. He could be in the league, making millions, instead he took his game overseas, best of luck to you AJ stay gifted and blessed!
