Kansas men’s basketball forward KJ Adams suffered a significant injury in his last game in a Jayhawks uniform. The injury occurred late in KU’s Thursday evening loss to Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Late in the game, KJ Adams grabbed a rebound, but as he landed, he suddenly collapsed to the floor, clutching the back of his foot. He hobbled straight to the locker room, and there were immediate concerns that Adams might have torn or ruptured his Achilles.

KU’s lack of consistency caught up with the Jayhawks in the season’s most important game. Kansas had multiple turnovers, some of which led to a 7-0 run by Arkansas that put the Razorbacks ahead by four with 1 minute, 10 seconds remaining in the game.

John Calipari got past a familiar foe to put himself — and the coach's new school — back on the winning side in March. Jonas Aidoo scored 22 points to help 10th-seeded Arkansas to a 79-72 opening-round NCAA Tournament victory over No.
