KU Men's Basketball 2004-05 Season Recap

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT

Keith-less KU cruises (Mar. 11, 2005)

Keith Langford is not only injured. He's mighty sick, too. "Keith's had a tough-luck week. Yes, he's bummin' right now," Kansas University coach Bill Self said after his Jayhawks blitzed Kansas State, 80-67, in a Big 12 Conference tournament quarterfinal Friday at Kemper Arena. The Jayhawks won the game without senior guard Langford, who watched the game while hooked up to an IV at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He was bed-ridden not because of the bruised left ankle that has required three to four treatments a day since Sunday's loss at Missouri, but because of a nasty flu bug and case of dehydration.

Round Two to OSU (Mar. 12, 2005)

Keith Langford, who checked out of Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Saturday morning, worked out Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
Yes, some good news came out of KU's basketball camp on an otherwise gloomy day -- a day Oklahoma State nudged the Jayhawks, 78-75, in a Big 12 Conference tournament semifinal thriller at Kemper Arena. "I'd say 9.97," Langford said, asked to rate the condition of his badly bruised left ankle on a scale of 1-10. "I'm definitely ready. I was ready to go if we'd have played tomorrow." The Jayhawks won't be playing today. The Big 12 championship has been reserved for South Division schools Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.
