The Kansas Jayhawks were put on upset alert on Tuesday night when the UCF Knights nearly pulled off an upset. Still, head coach Bill Self saw his team survive what had been a very difficult game. After the game,

UCF led for more than 21 minutes, but the Jayhawks captured a narrow lead down the stretch. UCF had a chance to take the lead down one in the final seconds, but the Jayhawks got a stop. Adams and Mayo each sunk a pair of free throws in the last 10 seconds to secure the win.

Kansas basketball weathered terrible injury luck for chunks of last season and went into the NCAA Tournament without star player Kevin McCullar Jr. Needless to say, the campaign ended with a whimper.
