He shoots free throws every day because he missed two free throws that cost his high school team a state title.

He and Coach K are neck and neck but think Izz is the best.

Izzo definitely has the benefit of recent performance to back his claim to the title, "BEST." I think the game vs. Butler will be an instant classic. I also think that whoever survives is going to have a tough time with either Duke or WVU (I, personally - don't ban me, mods! - think it'll be Huggie and the Mountaineers). :popcorn:

KU couldn't get Izzo if they gave him Lew Perkins money. Oregon is getting ready to offer a bagillion dollars...and Izzo is going to say no.

After Lew Perkins, ku no longer has "Lew Perkins money"

Somewhere Ron Prince and Mark Mangino are tipping their caps (cowboy hats) to Lew.
