I had the privilege of being in Allen Fieldhouse for Kansas’ senior day, just as I was the year before.
What stood out about the experience Saturday was how normal of a game day experience it was. No senior speeches, no trophy presentation. Yet it was also normal in that it was still an intimidating environment with a crowd that was loud and on top of everything (mostly the refs) as usual. But it was clear nothing was at stake. It wasn’t a memorable atmosphere. It was just normally great.
The buzzer sounded, fans cheered, and then everyone took off for the exits.
