SportsBeat KC podcast: Kansas Jayhawks are Final Four bound after near perfect 2nd half
Next stop for Kansas, the Final Four.
The Jayhawks ran away from Miami (Florida) 76-60 on Sunday to capture the Midwest Regional championship and advance to the Final Four for the 16th time in program history. Villanova awaits in the semifinal Saturday in New Orleans.
On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writers Gary Bedore and Jesse Newell break down the Kansas effort, when they outscored the Hurricanes by 32 points in the second half. Remy Martin was voted the region’s most outstanding player but several had a hand in helping the Jayhawks overcome a six-point halftime deficit.
We look back on the game and look ahead to a weekend that also includes a Duke-North Carolina semifinal.
