† 2009 Big 12 Tournament winner Rankings from AP poll ^[1]

The 2008-09 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team will represent the University of Kansas in the 2008-09 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, which will be the Jayhawks 111th basketball season. The Head Coach is Bill Self, who will be serving his 6th year. The team will be playing its home games in Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, and is the defending National Champion.

Pre-Season

The 2007-08 Jayhawks finished the season 37-3 overall with a 13-3 mark in conference play.^[2] They won the Big 12 regular season men's basketball championship, which they shared with the Texas Longhorns. In post season play, the Jayhawks won the Big 12 conference tournament championship and received a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The team went on to win the national championship 75-68 in overtime vs. the Memphis Tigers.^[2] The Jayhawks finished the season #1 in the final Coaches Poll after the tournament and were ranked 5th in the final AP Poll before the tournament.^[3] The team raised a temporary NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship banner to the rafters in an official ceremony to celebrate its 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament victory during Late Night in the Phog event. The official championship and final four banners were raised during the November 18 game against Florida Gulf Coast.^[4]

The Jayhawks lost five scholarship seniors from their national title team in addition to three underclassmen (Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, and Darrell Arthur) who opted to enter the NBA draft and eventually signed with agents. Returning from the national championship team are stars Sherron Collins, point guard and Cole Aldrich, center. Other players returning are: seniors Matt Kleinmann and Brennan Bechard and sophomores Brady Morningstar, Chase Buford, Tyrel Reed, and Connor Teahan.

Recruiting

Coach Self signed seven recruits for the 2008-09 season^[5]. The class is led by New Jersey twins Marcus and Markieff Morris who both play the power forward position. Another signee from New Jersey is Quintrell Thomas, who also plays the power forward position. Travis Releford, a Kansas City product was the first signee for the Jayhawks and will be in the mix for departed star Brandon Rush's spot in the starting rotation. Coach Self also managed to lure point guard Tyshawn Taylor to Lawrence, after he was released from his letter of intent to play for Marquette.^[6] The Jayhawks also signed junior college transfers Tyrone Appleton and Mario Little.
