How Many Times Have the Kansas Jayhawks Won the NCAA Tournament?
It wouldn’t be an NCAA Tournament without Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks, now would it?
Certain teams are almost always locks to make March Madness in a given year. Much like Michigan State and Syracuse, the Jayhawks are seemingly always in play for a chance to win the NCAA National Championship game.
Kansas has won the tournament before, but it’s been quite a few years. When did the Jayhawks last end March Madness with a title, and how many times have they done it entering this year’s tournament?
Bill Self and Kansas are in the NCAA Tournament again
Eastern Washington has won 13 of their last 14, and have 5 guys averaging double digits led by Big Sky MVP Tanner Groves with 16. 4.

It has been over 30 years since the Kansas Jayhawks missed an NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks’ 2021 appearance marks the 31st straight year that Kansas will compete in March Madness. Kansas, a No. 3 seed in this year’s tournament, opens the first round on Saturday, March 20, against No. 14 Eastern Washington.
This is very familiar territory for Bill Self, who has been the Jayhawks’ head coach since 2003. Self is 521-117 at Kansas and has reached the Elite Eight seven times in that span.
The Jayhawks’ most recent Final Four appearance came in the spring of 2018, when they lost to Villanova, the eventual champions.

Considering how successful the Kansas Jayhawks have been in the nearly 20 years that Bill Self has been there, it’s somewhat surprising they only have one championship in that span.
That title came in April 2008, when Kansas ended a 37-3 season by defeating Derrick Rose and Memphis in the National Championship game. Trailing by three with 2.1 seconds left, Kansas guard Mario Chalmers hit a miracle 3-pointer to send the game into overtime.
Kansas outscored Memphis 12-5 in the final period for a 75-68 victory.
Kansas has not reached the championship since April 2012, when the Jayhawks lost, 67-59, to Anthony Davis and Kentucky.

RELATED: How Many Teams Make the NCAA March Madness Tournament?
Entering the 2021 NCAA Tournament, the Jayhawks have won three national championships.
Kansas’ first title came in 1952 when the NCAA Tournament involved only 16 teams as opposed to 68. Interestingly, the 1952 tournament was the first to have a Final Four format that resembles what is in place today.
It would be nearly 40 years before the Jayhawks stood on top of the college basketball world again. With Larry Brown as head coach and Danny Manning starring at forward, Kansas defeated Oklahoma in the 1988 National Championship game.
The Jayhawks, a No. 6 seed, took down a No. 1 seed in the Sooners. Despite playing the National Championship in Kansas City, Mo. — only 40 miles away from Lawrence, Kan., where the Jayhawks’ campus is — the Jayhawks were heavy underdogs.
And, most recently, the Jayhawks defeated Memphis in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Only time will tell if Kansas is able to win another title in the Bill Self era and if they can soon snap their championship drought.

List of winners and finalists of the NASS Men's Division I Basketball Championship
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NACC) Men's Division I Basketball Championship, or simply the NASS Tournament, is a knockout tournament where a participant is eliminated after one defeat. Division I is the top level tournament in NASS [1] and its winner is referred to in the media as the National College Basketball Champion [2] [3] . The championship takes place annually from 1939 years old At the beginning, 8 teams took part in it, and in 2011 - 68 [4] [5] . The semi-finals of the tournament are called the Final Four and take place in the same city, as well as the final game [6] . Indianapolis, the city where NASS is headquartered, hosts the Final Four on average every 5 years and is also a backup city in case the city hosting the Final Four is not able to host it [7] . Since 1952, the winning team has received a rectangular, gold-plated prize made of wood. Prior to this, the winner received a silver cup [8] .
The first NASS tournament was organized by the National Basketball Coaches Association [9] . The University of Oregon became the tournament's first winner, beating Ohio State University 46-33 in the final. After the second championship in 1940, the event came under the auspices of NASS [9] . In its early years, the tournament was less prestigious than the National Invitational Tournament (NPT), held in New York [10] [11] . Initially, teams could play in both tournaments at the same time and in season 19The 49/50 City College of New York team won both tournaments, becoming the only team in history to win both tournaments in the same year [12] . In the 1960s, the NASS tournament became more prestigious, and in 1971 the NASS banned universities from playing in other tournaments such as the NTP if they were invited to the NASS [13] championship.
UCLA has won the NASS Tournament more than any other university, 11 times. Ten of these championship titles have been won by the university since 1964 to 1975. UCLA also holds the record for the most consecutive titles won, with 7 in a row from 1967 to 1973. The University of Kentucky has won the championship 8 times, while Indiana University Bloomington and the University of North Carolina have won the championship 5 times each. The current champion is the University of Connecticut. More often than others, the team was led to the championship title by John Wooden, who won the tournament 10 times with UCLA. Duke University head coach Mike Krzyszewski and Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky each led their teams to success.
Kansas center Alexander Kaun became the first Russian player to win the final of the NCAA student championship.
“During the Final Four, the whole of America went crazy. And in Kansas, where our team will return in a few hours, as I found out, 30 thousand fans will meet! It's hard to even think about sleep we celebrated the victory all night long. I slept only a couple of hours I had to get up for a press conference, told the center correspondent of Sport-Express.
Recall that Alexander's team Kansas defeated Memphis in the final (75:68 OT).
