Among the couple dozen former KU players who attended Monday’s title game, the one with the most interesting wardrobe had to be former KU point guard Russell Robinson.
While the black KU pullover was pretty basic, Robinson’s hat caught some eyes. Not only was it autographed by the members of the 2008 national championship team, but it also featured Robinson’s piece of the net, tied to the back, from that KU win in San Antonio 14 years ago.
Robinson said Monday marked the first time the hat and net had left his house.
“I had to bring it out,” he said, noting that he hoped it would bring the current Jayhawks the same good fortune that his team experienced.
Robinson was far from the only notable name in the stands on Monday night. Several former KU players, along with Kansas football coach Lance Leipold, sat behind the KU bench to cheer on the Jayhawks.
Included in the Kansas contingent on Monday were: Pierce, Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Danny Manning, Aaron Miles, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Jeff Boschee, Eric Chenowith, Billy Thomas, Jeff Hawkins, Russell Robinson, Devon Dotson, Jeff Graves, Wayne Simien, Ryan Robertson, Ron Kellogg, Roger Morningstar, Niko Roberts, Tyler Self, Christian Moody, Matt Kleinmann and others.
