The K-State and KU alumni teams began TBT with Wichita State at Koch Arena in previous years. But their team leaders organized a regional of their own in downtown Kansas City this time around.

This summer’s Kansas alumni team in The Basketball Tournament will have the opportunity to play even closer to home than its predecessors. TBT announced on Tuesday morning that this year’s KU team — newly rebranded as JHX (pronounced “Jayhawks”) Hoops — and its Kansas State counterpart Purple Reign will co-host regional competition at Municipal Auditorium

Kansas State basketball's NCAA Tournament hopes took a serious hit with a lopsided home loss to Arizona State.

The Kansas men’s basketball team is unranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time since the 2020-21 season. Kansas was third in the “others receiving votes” category with 25 votes. The Jayhawks went 1-1 last week while ranked No. 23 in the country.

The Kansas Jayhawks are out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in four years, an aberrant spot for one of college basketball's blue bloods.

For the first time since February 2021, the Kansas Jayhawks have found themselves outside of the Associated Press Top 25.
