Kansas is two victories in its home-away-from home from a Final Four berth.
The Jayhawks (30-4), the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Regional, polished off No. 9 seed Michigan State 90-70 on Sunday at BOK Center and in the process assured a spot in Thursday’s Sweet 16 contest against No. 4 seed Purdue at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.
Josh Jackson scored 23 points against the team he rooted for as a child, Frank Mason added 20 points, Devonté Graham 18 and Landen Lucas 10 with 11 rebounds for the Jayhawks, who won their 30th game for the 14th time in school history and the eighth time in the 14-year Bill Self era.
