KU has been known as a powerhouse of the Big 12. Although this current 2017-2018 season is rockier than most, the boys earned another Kansas Jayhawks Conference Championship. The Hawks secured 14 consecutive Big 12 titles since 2005. This year, Texas Tech gave KU a run for their money, but the Hawks pulled off a W in Lubbock by just two points. Giving them at least a piece of the Big 12 Conference Title! Then came Senior night at Allen Fieldhouse and KU beat the longhords 80-70 to secure an outright conference title. The Jayhawks are now a solo champion!
