Kansas University fans flooded Massachusetts Street as KU defeated Memphis 75 68 in overtime to claim the national title. The celebration continued at Memorial Stadium with buses, open parking, and a likely 3 p.m. rally. KU coach Bill Self earned his first championship in his first Final Four trip, while students and alumni hailed a historic win that canceled classes and sparked a citywide party.
