TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The state Legislature has honored the University of Kansas men's and women's basketball teams for their successful seasons this year.

Four players from each team appeared in the House and Senate chambers Friday. Legislators read resolutions thanking the teams for their efforts and for the pride they brought the university and Kansas.

The women ended the season with a loss to Tennessee in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks finished with a record of 21-13, despite losing leading scorer Carolyn Davis to a knee injury.
