Kansas Alumni Squad in 2025 TBT

JHX Hoops, Kansas basketball’s alumni squad, is back for another run in the Kansas City Regional.

Formerly known as Mass Street, the team will bring several familiar faces back to fans in Lawrence.

In 2025, No. 2 seed JHX Hoops will open play on Saturday, July 19, against No. 7 seed OffDaHook at 3 p.m. CT.

This year’s squad includes names like Zeke Mayo, Lagerald Vick, Kevin Young, and other ex-Kansas stars.

The regional games will take place at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri.

If they win, they’ll advance to play again on Monday, July 21, with the Kansas City Regional Final set for Wednesday, July 23.

Kansas' alumni squad is one of the most dangerous teams in the field and will give Jayhawk fans something extra to root for this summer.
