The University of Kansas Jayhawks have secured their spot in this year's Men's Basketball National Final. The team has been on an impressive run this year, with a record of 32-3. They have been dominant in the tournament so far and are now just one win away from the national title.
How They Got Here
The Kansas Jayhawks have been given a tough path to the final, facing some of the top teams in college basketball. However, they have risen to the challenge and have looked like one of the best teams in the tournament.
Their journey began with a dominating 100-62 win over Eastern Kentucky in the round of 64. They followed that up with wins over Stanford in the round of 32 and New Mexico in the Sweet 16.
In the Elite Eight, they faced a tough challenge in the form of the Duke Blue Devils. The game was a back-and-forth affair, but the Jayhawks managed to edge out Duke for a 75-72 victory.
Key Players
The Kansas Jayhawks have a number of talented players on their roster, but two players in particular have stood out during the tournament: Devonte' Graham and Malik Newman.
Graham, a senior guard, has been the team's leader all year. He's averaging 17.3 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game during the tournament. He's been clutch in big moments, hitting several key shots down the stretch in the win over Duke.
Newman, a sophomore guard, has been a revelation for the Jayhawks during the tournament. He's averaging 21.8 points per game, including a 32-point outburst in the win over Duke. He's been the team's go-to scorer when they need a basket.
The Championship Game
The Kansas Jayhawks will face off against the Villanova Wildcats in the national final. Villanova is the defending national champion and the top-ranked team in the tournament. However, the Jayhawks have proven that they can compete with anyone and will be looking to pull off the upset.
