The Kanas Jayhawks came alive in the second half of their Elite Eight matchup against the Miami Hurricanes to advance to the Final Four. Kansas trailed 35-26 after the first half and appeared to be the latest team to be upset in this year's NCAA Tournament.
Buoyed by a strong defensive effort, the Jayhawks held the Hurricanes to just 15 points in the second half. They put up 47, to earn a 76-50 victory over the tenth-seeded Hurricanes.
Ochai Agbaji led Kansas with 18 points on 8-12 shooting.
Kansas is the only #1 seed left standing in a wild year which saw multiple upsets, leaving most peoples' brackets busted. #1 Baylor was knocked out in the second round by #8 North Carolina. #1 Arizona and #1 Gonzaga were both knocked out in the Sweet 16 by Houston and Arkansas, respectively. #15 Saint Peter's Peacocks have shocked the world, becoming the lowest seed ever to reach the Elite Eight.
