105 years of Kansas basketball


JoJo White
   More than 150 former players, student managers and coaches — including notables such as Raef LaFrentz, B.H. Born, Ron Kellogg, Bud Stallworth and Otto Schnellbacher — returned to Lawrence on Feb. 15-16 to celebrate the 105-year anniversary of Kansas University basketball.
   Ceremonies included a banquet Feb. 15 at the Lawrence Holidome, LaFrentz's jersey retirement before Sunday's game against Iowa State and a halftime introduction of all the former letterwinners and coches.
   This is your home for the most complete coverage of the weekend's events. Below are Lawrence Journal-World stories about the weekend, lists of players in attendance (by name and by the coach for which they played), audio clips from speeches at the banquet, photos from the banquet and the ceremonies at Allen Fieldhouse, and other historical content.
