Interesting articles on KU and Memphis

[BleedGopher]

KU is going to have a "legends" game where a host of former Jayhawks will ascend on Lawrence for a game, where they will charge $20/ticket and $10/student. I have no doubt in my mind that this game will sell out (16,3000) and many tickets will be sold above face value for this. Not too many programs would be able to pull this off, with the ticket prices, with this level of player participation, etc. - no doubt this will be a very valuable recruiting tool:

Also of interest, Memphis has hired Luke Walton to its staff during the NBA lock-out:

I'd pay to see Kevin McHale and Flip Saunders play again. Throw in Voshon, Bobby and others and it might be kind of cool.

Clem and Eric Musselman (in place of his late father) could be the coaches.

Kentucky recently had two such games, one in Lexington and one in Louisville. They played the Dominican Republic national team, which was coached by Calipari.
