'Twas the night before Saturday, when all through the Big 12,
Not a BB team was stirring, except for the Buffs;
The impermissible gifts were laid by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Selby soon would be there;
The Jayhawks were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of one-and-done danced in their heads;
And Selby's momma in her 'kerchief, and Self in his hair-hat,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap;
When out in the Fieldhouse there arose such a clatter,
That Dr. Do-Little sprang from her bed to see what was the matter.
