On Saturday, Kansas Jayhawks won tickets to the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship Match, knocking out Villanova, 81-65.

The Wildcats went deep into the second half, taking the Jayhawks’ lead down to six. However, Kansas took a 17-7 lead in the final six minutes of the game, going to a 16-point victory.
Kansas shot off lights all night, finishing 29 of 54 (53.7%) from the field and 13 of 24 (54.2%) from three-point range.
The Jayhawks’ defense was also a nightmare for Nova, forcing the Wildcats to nine serves while keeping them 22/57 (38.6%) from the field and 13/31 (41.9) %) from three.
Kansas’ David McCormack led all scorers with 25 points, followed by teammate Ochai Agbaji, who had 21 points, including six three-pointers, in a Final Four victory.
Collin Gillespie Villanova leads with 17 points.
Kansas returned to the NCAA National Championship for the first time in 10 years, when they lost to Kentucky in 2012.
