Lots of basketball news today. There are a few articles from a couple days back that I don't think we've put up here yet, but were too good to pass on completely.

14-and-O(U): Stoops’ Sooners perfect after Rivalry | KUsports.com
Not that our chances were looking good here anyway, but Texas didn't do us any favors by blowing out the Sooners.
Opinion: Kansas defense showing progress | KUsports.com
Definitely lots of defensive progress. Unfortunately, college is largely an offensive game. There are so many good offenses that no matter how good your defense, cracks will be found eventually.

Starting 5: Wayne Selden and other lasting impressions from Kansas - NCAA Basketball - Sporting News
The more I hear about all the talent we have on the roster, the harder it gets to temper my expectations for the year. Am I the only one thinking that anything less than a Final Four is a failure for the year?
Wiggins has the skills of a superstar, but the attitude of a role player. He knows he can help his team win if he plays his role. That role just happens to be taking over games with his freakish athleticism.
While he is by all accounts a great player. I'm actually a bit relieved that they aren't a definite package deal. If Lyle comes to KU, I'll embrace him like any other Jayhawk. But it's starting to look like he may not have as big of a role in the team as originally thought, with so many other high recruits leaning this way. I wouldn't want his potential decision to go elsewhere to unduly sway Alexander in his decision.
