Kansas finished No. 1 in the final top 25 from The Associated Press.
The Jayhawks closed the season with a 28-3 record.
Bill Self said he didn't want to claim any sort of Championship recognition for this season.
"That's not the way this is all intended to be," Self said. "Coaches prepare their teams to peak at certain times. I'm proud of how our team prepared all season but especially at the end of the season, we were terrific. We operated under some pressure and dealt with some stuff. From our standpoint, sure, that would be great, but even if that were to occur, there would be a huge asterisk next to it, and I would agree with that."
Gonzaga and Dayton finished second and third in the AP poll, receiving one first-place vote each.
