Coach Bill Self has coached the University of Kansas (KU) Jayhawks for a decade.  During that time, he has accumulated 300 wins and his home record at Allen Fieldhouse is 162-8.   Remarkable.  I recently had to privilege of shooting a game between KU and Fort Hays State University at Allen Fieldhouse.  Meet the Jayhawks.  Use of these copyrighted images without written permission is prohibited.  Enjoy viewing these pictures.

Andrew Wiggins  Fr.//6-8//200//Vaughan, Ontario  (Best Pictures of him on the Net IMHO).  He is a preseason All-American and Adidas is reputedly  ready to offer him $180,000,000 for a shoe endorsement.

Check the muscle tone on this remarkable athlete.

The images were shot with the Canon 1D X and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II with two exceptions.  The first Frank Mason and the second Conner Frankamp images were shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV and the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS.

If you have a friend who follows college basketball, have him take a look at these photos.  Wiggins is receiving a huge amount of publicity and there are not yet many good action images of him playing college basketball.
