SEASON SUMMARY:
The Jayhawks, with All-American Forrest “Frosty” Cox, rebounded for a second-place Big Six finish in 1929-30 before winning four straight conference titles.  In that span, KU was led by Cox, Tom Bishop and All-Americans Ted O’Leary and Bill “Skinny” Johnson, who was elected to the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1976 as the dominant center of his time.
