Murals celebrate KU Final Fours and Owens legacy
Owens, visiting KU before a 125th anniversary celebration, recalls the 1971 Final Four and the mural tradition he sparked. Artist John Boyd Martin painted murals for 1971 and 1974 teams and envisions a future mural of the 2022 national champions. Owens, now 93, toured the hallway that houses the murals and praised the growing gallery as KU eyes more titles.
