In the first round, Kansas easily rolled over Texas Southern 83-56. But ninth-seeded Creighton wouldn't go down as easily. The Bluejays, down by only one point at the half, fell to the Jayhawks, giving Kansas the close 79-72 win.
The squad's Sweet 16 matchup against Providence would prove as competitive as their contest from the previous round. The Friars' defense held KU to just 26 first-half points. In a game where they shot only 39.3% from the field and 14.3% from distance, Kansas eked out a 66-61 win to advance to the Elite Eight.
And then as a respite from consecutive competitive contests, the Jayhawks were able to storm over the Miami Hurricanes, blowing them away 76-50 en route to the Final Four. On Saturday, the Jayhawks took down Villanova 81-65 to punch their ticket to a date with North Carolina on Monday in New Orleans. And in the title game, Kansas won it all by defeating North Carolina 72-68.
What a magical run for KU backers and fans!
