The season ended abruptly for the men's basketball team after a tough 67-62 loss to Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. Though the loss was disappointing for the team, the 'Hawks still have much to celebrate after a season of exceeding expectations. Cole Aldrich was named to the NCAA Tournament All-Midwest Regional team, and Sherron Collins to the Associated Press All-American Third Team.

The KU women's basketball team fell to the South Florida Bulls, 75-71, in the championship game of the WNIT April 4.
