As soon as Madison Hess saw that Kansas was going to do it, finally do it, and make it to the Final Four after falling just short the last two years, she rushed out of a bar and onto Massachusetts Street.
"It's Sunday night," Hess yelled over the cheers of her fellow KU fans. "We're still going to turn up."
She wasn’t the only Jayhawk diehard to take to the streets in celebration. The main downtown street in Lawrence was filled with fans in minutes after KU’s overtime victory over Duke, as students, alums and fans ran wild past the desperate few cars trying to get through.
