Thousands of KU fans flocked to Mass Street Sunday afternoon to watch and celebrate the national champion Jayhawks in a parade that traveled more than a mile and a half.
Lined up behind barricades, fans held up signs from a sea of crimson and blue praising and thanking their hoops heroes. And they whooped and hollered as the team and their chauffeured rides made their way down Mass Street.
The players, coaches and dignitaries waved from convertibles and pickup trucks. Read more from the parade at this link.
