KU season ends with another NCAA thud even as Jayhawks avoid their worst tourney loss

When the end has come for the Kansas over the past few NCAA Tournaments, the Jayhawks have left no doubt about the outcome.

Saturday’s 89-75 loss to Auburn was among the most lopsided in the storied program’s NCAA Tournament history.

The halftime deficit of 26 points, 51-25, was the largest in Kansas’ 155 NCAA Tournament games.

KU has suffered four of its worst 10 NCAA losses since 2015. That year, the Jayhawks fell to Wichita State in the second round by 13. Kansas lost the 2017 Midwest Regional final to Oregon by 14, and by 16 to Villanova in last year’s Final Four.
