In 1996, Kansas men’s basketball won the final Big 8 championship before the conference’s dissolution and restructuring into the Big 12. Coached by Roy Williams in his eighth year on the job, the talented team saw the addition of freshman Paul Pierce to the roster. To celebrate the last of the Big 8 champs, we referenced 1990s-era vintage to celebrate this memorable era of KU basketball history. Brought to you in partnership with College Vault.
