Kansas is no longer the Big 12 regular season champion, something we can say for the first time since 2004. It’s been a remarkable run that has produced exactly one NCAA title and only two Final Fours, which is something that Jayhawks fans really really do not enjoy when you bring it up to them.
But congrats to the Jayhawks for their streak. And congrats to Kansas State and Tech for putting an end to it. In a conference with programs like West Virginia, Texas and Oklahoma — you know, programs with actual basketball history — it was the Red Raiders and Wildcats that finally knocked Kansas off its pedestal.
