For the first time since 2012, the Kansas basketball team is back in the Final Four. Headed to San Antonio, a familiar destination for some former Jayhawks, a long list of current and old players took to social media to react to the wild Elite Eight victory.

A look at many of the reactions from KU’s victory against Duke, which includes several from Jayhawks who made it possible.
