A few links in case you missed them ...
• There's been a lot of buzz lately about this story on the Kansas basketball tradition and Allen Fieldhouse from the Philadelphia Daily News' Dick Jerardi.
The article tries to give Temple basketball fans a glimpse of what makes the KU basketball tradition special.
Here's a snippet:
Smack in the middle of the country, hard by I-70, with its throwback gym right in the middle of campus on Naismith Drive, KU is as much a feeling as it is a place. But it is a place that has a longstanding love affair with its basketball team that shows no signs of abating.
The article is worth a read if you haven't yet.
• Speaking of Allen Fieldhouse, KU coach Bill Self talked about how special it was in a radio interview with CBS and Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brando on Friday.
"It's in the heat of the game," Self says at the 2:30 mark of the audio, "and (I'll) turn to my assistants and say, 'Hey, would you listen to this?'"
Self discusses other topics, including his team's good practices recently and instant replay in college during the rest of the 14-minute, 30-second interview.
• DraftExpress, which has Ben McLemore ninth on its latest mock draft, recently posted an informative video breakdown of the freshman highlighting his strengths and weaknesses.
The video does a nice job of showing, through video examples, where McLemore thrives and also where he needs to improve through a scout's eyes.
In case you were wondering, KU center Jeff Withey is listed at 25th on DraftExpress' latest board.
• KU offensive lineman commit Joey Bloomfield has taken to Twitter to try to help raise money for his high school.
The Louisville Courier-Journal has selected Bloomfield as one of four candidates for "December Athlete of the Month." The athlete that picks up the most votes receives a prize pack and also has money donated to his/her high school through the newspaper.
As of Saturday morning, Bloomfield was in second place with 34 percent of the vote.
