Kansas vs. Miami score, takeaways: Jayhawks rout Hurricanes, head to Final Four as only remaining No. 1 seed - CBS Sports

There won't be a Final Four without a No. 1 seed this year. No. 1 Kansas used a strong second-half to erase a halftime deficit and ultimately put away No. 10 Miami 76-50 in the Midwest Regional final.

The Jayhawks (32-6) are headed to their fourth Final Four under coach Bill Self, and their first since 2018. The opponent in 2022 is the same as it was then, with Kansas taking on Villanova at 6:09 p.m. Saturday in New Orleans.

Kansas has struggled in the Elite Eight under Self, going 3-5 before Sunday's win. And with Kameron McGusty scoring 14 first-half points, it looked like another rough regional final outing was in store for the Jayhawks. Kansas led 27-26 before Miami (26-10) ended the half on a 9-2 run to take a 35-29 halftime advantage.

Kansas didn't waste much time erasing that edge in the second half. Christian Braun's 3-pointer — Kansas' first of the game — with 15:27 remaining broke a 40-all tie, and about five minutes later, Ochai Agbaji's own 3-pointer pushed the lead into double digits at 12. Miami never cut that lead back to single digits again.

Five Jayhawks scored at least nine points, led by Agbaji, who broke out of his recent slump with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting, and he added five rebounds, four assists and four steals.

McGusty finished with 18 points to lead the Hurricanes.
