The Jayhawks are a college basketball powerhouse, but the 1988 squad wasn’t seen as much of a threat heading into March Madness as a 6-seed.
Balanced play led by star Danny Manning saw the Jayhawks march through the tournament field, to a championship showdown against Oklahoma, a game that Kansas won 83-79 for the national title.
