The winningest team in college basketball went into the locker room trailing 35-29 at the half, but they quickly sailed to a 20-point lead over 10th-seeded Miami and sailed through to the next round of the tournament.

The Jayhawks will take on No. 2 seed Villanova on Saturday, April 2, in the Final Four at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Lawrence police closed Mass Street to traffic from 11th Street north to Eighth Street so fans could celebrate safely, according to a tweet from the department. Police asked that revelers please avoid climbing traffic signals.
