Highs

Fargo-Moorhead Acro Team

Believe or not, the Kansas basketball wasn’t the most high-flying act at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. The Fargo-Moorhead Acro Team – a gymnast club from North Dakota – performed at halftime and wowed fans with an aerial display of flips, twists, and corkscrews. At one point, more than 25 gymnasts were simultaneous doing flips while the theme music from the original Rocky movie played in the background.

Kansas’ three-point shooting

The Jayhawks were a superb nine of 16 from behind the three-point line. Brandon Rush led Kansas with five three-pointers in seven attempts, while Sherron Collins was a perfect two of two and Russell Robinson made two of three shots from behind the arc.

A first time for everything

An older man sat behind the Nebraska bench with a sign that read, “Jayhawk fan for 66 years: first trip to the Fieldhouse.

Cliché Signs

At least two Allen Fieldhouse fans committed a major sports fan faux paus on Saturday. Each fan displayed a sign with a pro-Jayhawk phrase using the letters E-S-P-N to begin each line of the sign. These types of signs were creative – in 1991.

Nebraska’s offense

The Cornhusker’s offense output was bad enough to make James Naismith shudder. Nebraska shot an anemic 30 percent from the field, going 18 for 60. They turned the ball over 16 times, while only managing six assists. Nebraska’s 49 points marked the fourth time this season that Kansas held a team under 50 points.
