Rock Chalk Talk, a Kansas Jayhawks community

When Collins is efficient, the Jayhawks are really, really good. Sweet Sixteen good. Nope, they’re Elite Eight good. Damn it, I said I wasn’t going to overreact, but I swear these Jayhawks just might be Final Four good.

Yep, the team labeled the worst Kansas squad in 10 years is good enough to pull off a tournament shocker after losing its national-title starting five to professional basketball.

"I think we’re better than everyone thought we would be," Collins said. "To me, it’s not surprising. That’s what you expect at Kansas. That’s what we do here; we win."
