University of Kansas Jayhawks Men's Basketball History

The University of Kansas, which started its men's basketball team program during the 1898-1899 season, was historic right from the start. The university's first coach was James Naismith, who is credited for inventing the sport. Between 1907 and 1909 (and, later, from 1919 to 1956), the Jayhawks were coached by Phog Allen, a man dubbed the "Father of Basketball Coaching." In addition to coaching greatness, Kansas has boasted an impressive array of future professional basketball superstars on its roster, including Danny Manning, Paul Pierce, Clyde Lovellette, Joel Embiid and NBA great Wilt Chamberlain.

The Jayhawks played in the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association from 1907 through 1928 before joining the Big Six. In 1996, Kansas became a member of the newly-expanded Big 12 Conference. For over a century, the Jayhawks have faced off against their in-state rival and Big 12 opponents, the Kansas State Wildcats, in a contest known as the Sunflower Showdown.

The University of Kansas Jayhawks have appeared in the Final Four 16 times, won four NCAA National Championships and snagged a staggering 64 conference championships. Since the 2003-2004 season, the Jayhawks have been coached by Bill Self, who led the team to a record-setting 14 consecutive Big 12 Conference titles between 2005 and 2018. In 2022, Self helped the Jayhawks claim the Big 12 tournament championship while also guiding the team to their fourth Final Four appearance during his tenure.

    We had a great time, the half time show was fantastic, people who missed it really missed a great act. We're big KU fans so of course we loved the game. Would like to have a chance to buy better seats without having to pay more than face value from people and companies that make money raising the price so much.

    Seeing KU play at Sprint Center was great!

    by momster62 on 12/13/10Sprint Center - Kansas City

    I love attending events at Sprint Center and this KU basketball game was no exception. Even though I was up in section 220, the view was good. I don't think that the game ever was able to get into a rhythm because there were so many fouls called--so I missed getting to see that back and forth action that I love in a basketball game. At one point in the game KU was up by 22 points, but you could feel that the crowd wasn't feeling good--KU just didn't play well, but we won, and I guess that's the bottom line!

    The Hawks need to sustain their focus better.

    Against a better team, the Hawks will need to play with intensity the whole game.

    KU-Colorado State Game

    by NBJustin on 12/13/10Sprint Center - Kansas City

    Great game and the venue is unbeatable. However, nothing can top Allen Field House for the excitement, noise, and experience.
