Kansas battled Arizona in a back-and-forth affair Thursday night, leading in the second half but falling late in an 88-77 Wildcats victory.

Arizona moves onto the semi-finals where it will take on two-seed Texas Tech while Kansas now turns its attention to the NCAA Tournament. Will it be a six seed or a seven seems like the biggest question as Selection Sunday nears.

It's been a frustrating year for Kansas basketball fans and despite the effort showed Thursday night, the loss still left a bad taste in many mouths. Check out some of the strongest social media reactions to the game below.

Defending Hunter Dickinson

I legitimately can't believe there are people that claim to be Kansas fans that don't want Hunter Dickinson playing for their team. All of the idiotic narratives about him being soft, not caring, not being able to rebound. 18 & 10 per night. He's a top-5 player in the country.

Kansas Defense Remains Limited

Harris and KJ played as well as they could have. Hunt made shots. Zeke had an unconscious stretch. Coit had a few buckets. And it never felt like KU was going to win.
The defense was atrocious, and once again literally everyone choked down the stretch. Kansas basketball 2024-25.

Arizona Prepped for March Run?

Beating Kansas in Kansas City for your first-ever Big 12 Tournament game is a bad-ass way to establish yourself in a new conference.

That kind of resilience and fortitude could take Arizona far in March.

Salt in the Wounds of Kansas Basketball

Evan Manning animated when Arizona went to the bench with the timeout and the Wildcats leading 73-69 with 4:22 left.
Manning, Arizona's director of basketball operations, was part of Kansas' basketball team from 2012-16.
His dad is Jayhawk legend Danny Manning.
