Greetings, Jayhawks!

An unforgettable senior class said goodbye to Allen Field House during Senior Night last Monday after the Jayhawks' 109-51 rout of Texas Tech. But the Jayhawks aren't finished yet! There's plenty more to cheer about, and to prepare for March Madness, we bring you this special edition of KU Connection. Your regularly scheduled edition of KU Connection will arrive in your inbox in a couple weeks and bring you news of the latest happenings on the Hill.

The KU women's team takes on Nebraska in the first round of the Big 12 tournament this evening, and the KU men head to Kansas City later this week to claim their third straight Big 12 tournament championship. We'll be there every step of the way. Gather with fellow Jayhawks for watch parties, pep rallies and post-game celebrations. Check out the Ultimate Guide to KU Basketball for all the latest details, including NCAA tournament brackets after Selection Sunday.

More than 230 former players, coaches and staff traveled to Lawrence Feb. 16 to celebrate 110 years of KU basketball. The group was introduced at halftime of the KU-Colorado game. Included in the celebration was a tribute to KU's 1988 team, which 20 years ago won the NCAA's 50th men's basketball championship. The 2007-'08 Jayhawks wore blue retro '88 uniforms against Colorado.
