Several members of the team that started the Jayhawks’ streak of 14 consecutive conference titles still get together, and when they do, “We sound like old men.”

Kansas’s 14-year streak of Big 12 conference championships — that gasping marvel that got a little CPR Monday night in a frantic Allen Fieldhouse — might find its ultimate measurement in those who began it. They began it by clinching at least a share of the title with a 72-65 win over Kansas State on Kansas’s 2005 Senior Night, when nowadays seemed forever away. Nowadays, when the lifelong teammates reunite, said Michael Lee, the one with the nine points up there, “We sound like old men.
Meanwhile, the Aaron Miles-Michael Lee friendship has just about completed its third full decade, and that itself helps define the streak. They keep track of others, including the 2005 starter Keith Langford , who just this week scored 10 points with four rebounds, four steals and two assists in the Greek club Panathinaikos’ 94-85 win over Khimki Moscow, for which he also has played, within the streak.
