The national champion University of Kansas men’s basketball team visited the Statehouse on Monday.
The team was honored by Gov. Laura Kelly, who proclaimed April 25 as KU Men’s Basketball National Championship Victory Day.
“It is my great pleasure to welcome the 2022 NCAA Champions, our very own Kansas Jayhawks, to the Statehouse,” Gov. Kelly said. “After an incredible season, we all saw this talented team’s grit, determination, and triumph, and I know it wasn’t easy. But, hours of practice, energy, and sacrifice paved the way for a remarkable season full of games that captivated a nation. The entire state of Kansas is so proud of these young men. They’ve brought great pride to Kansas – and so many young players across the state are looking up to them.”
The team also attended a reception after the ceremony.
