Jason Sudeikis may have helped teach Americans more about the English Premier League than anyone since David Beckham, but like any good child of Kansas, basketball is still life.
The Jayhawks fan was back in Lawrence this week ahead of Friday’s showdown between No. 4 UConn and No. Kansas and had a chance to show off his stroke for head coach Bill Self at Allen Fieldhouse. And it still looks pretty dang smooth. Even Self had to give him credit.
Sudeikis only had to see a few go down before reminding Self that he still has two years of NCAA eligibility left.

Prior to his career in comedy, Sudeikis was on a basketball scholarship at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas. He’s also gone one-on-one with LeBron James, but that didn’t turn out to well for him.
The Jayhawks, meanwhile, are shooting 35.7 behind the arc to start the year so it’s not like adding Sudeikis as a walk-on is the worst idea.
