Disappointing End of Big 12 Title Streak Will Push Kansas to Reassess Goals

It's over.

Though the Kansas Jayhawks will still make the NCAA tournament, they will not finish the regular season atop the Big 12 standings for the first time since 2004.

An 81-68 loss to the unranked Oklahoma Sooners ensured the fate of Bill Self's club, which began the year as the league favorite for the eighth consecutive season but couldn't overcome a series of injuries and absences.

Any claims about disinterest in the streak are disingenuous. If the Jayhawks had won at least a share of the Big 12 crown for the 15th straight year, the achievement would be celebrated.
