Fan Notebook: Kansas v. Oklahoma

Best gear: Guy on the north side of the student section with the shirt made out of the Jayhawks beach ball.

Sherron Collins was in attendance: He couldn’t have come for a better game.

Best sign: “We love white Russians.” Honorable mention to the students on the south side holding the letters: “Russell with the hustle.”

Worst sign: The older guy in the student section every game. He has had the same “Dear Santa...” sign for the last seven games. Christmas was over a long time ago.

Cheers to freshman forward Julian Wright: He had the fanciest pass of the year, an over-the-shoulder, no-look pass to freshman guard Brandon Rush at the end of the first half. He also gave the Jayhawk faithful plenty to cheer about with his three timely, second-half monster dunks.

Cheers to Rush: He sparked the comeback by scoring 10 points in the final nine-and-a-half minutes. Rush’s block and defense on Oklahoma guard Terrell Everett in the last minute sealed the game.

Cheers to freshan guard Mario Chalmers: His tear drop winning shot about brought the roof off the fieldhouse.

Cheers to the fieldhouse crowd: Jayhawk nation must have been conserving energy for the first 10 minutes of the second half, but the comeback might not have happened without the deafening support from the crowd.

Chris Farley said it best of the Kansas comeback on the video board: “That was awesome.”
