Kansas basketball closed it's disappointing regular season with one of its bigger wins, beating No. 24 Arizona 83-76 in Lawrence.
Hunter Dickinson was huge for Kansas in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, putting up 33 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Zeke Mayo added 20 more points while dishing out six assists in a game Kansas controlled for the majority but had to survive late.
The win concludes the 2024-25 regular season that Kansas entered ranked among the nation's elite teams but struggled largely. The 20-11 Jayhawks now head to the Big 12 Tournament on the heels of Saturday's big win.
Social media was a celebratory place for the Jayhawks and their fans Saturday. See some of the best posts highlighting the victory below.

Bill Self said he would play through Dickinson more down the stretch of the season, and Arizona made it easy for him to do it.

Not impressed with Tommy Lloyd’s coaching this game. Kansas is running the same plays and Arizona hasn’t figured them out. Annoying.

Arizona @ Kansas is fun but this just doesn’t feel like a conference game.

I know it's the norm now, but I will not apologize for my unwavering belief that if you're at home, you wear the home whites (Kansas)
