1922–23 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team


The 1922–23 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team represented the University of Kansas during the 1922–23 NCAA men's basketball season in the United States. The head coach was Phog Allen, coaching in his sixth overall season with the Jayhawks. The team finished the season with a 17–1 record and were named national champions by the Helms Athletic Foundation for the second consecutive season.
The team was led by senior guard Paul Endacott, junior guard Charlie Black, and sophomore forward/center Tus Ackerman. Endacott and Black were both retroactively named 1923 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans, and Endacott was also named the national player of the year. The team also included reserve senior Adolph Rupp, who went on to have a Hall of Fame coaching career at Kentucky. This was the second of three mythical national championships claimed by the Jayhawks. The third "mythical" title claimed in the 2019–20 season, which, after the COVID-19 pandemic ended the season before the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament was to have begun, claimed which finished No. 1 in the final polls. In that case, head coach Bill Self is supportive of claiming such a title.
