The 2019–20 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team represented the University of Kansas in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, which was the Jayhawks' 122nd basketball season. The Jayhawks, members of the Big 12 Conference, played their home games at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. They were led by 17th year Hall of Fame head coach Bill Self.
Season notes
The Jayhawks attempted to rebound from losing six players through the draft and outgoing transfers, including Silvio De Sousa, who had been battling the NCAA regarding his eligibility. De Sousa did state if he wins his appeal regarding the NCAA declaring him ineligible, he would return to Kansas.{{cite web |title=Jayhawks’ Silvio De Sousa declares for NBA Draft, hopes to return to KU pending appeal |url=https://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article229477989.html |website=KansasCity.com}} On May 24, 2019, he won his appeal.{{cite web |title=Jayhawks' De Sousa wins appeal, eligible to play |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/26814448/jayhawks-de-sousa-wins-appeal-eligible-play |website=ESPN.com}} Kansas was ranked 3rd in the preseason AP Poll, their 7th consecutive season beginning the season ranked in the top five. Additionally, it was the 201st consecutive poll the Jayhawks have been ranked in, which is the longest active streak in the nation.{{cite web |title=Kansas No. 3 in preseason Associated Press poll |url=https://kuathletics.com/mbb-2019-preseason-ap-poll/ |website=KUAthletics.com}} As of the poll released March 9, 2020, the Jayhawks have extended the streak to 219 consecutive polls ranked. They have not played a game as an unranked team since January 31, 2009. After defeating TCU on March 4, 2020, the Jayhawks clinched their 62nd Regular Season Conference Championship, and their 15th in 16 seasons.{{cite web |title=Azubuike scores career-high 31, No. 1 Kansas beats TCU 75-66 |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401169772 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305053155/https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401169772 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 5, 2020 |website=ESPN.com}} It was the first time since the 2009-10 season that KU finished the regular season ranked first in the nation. Additionally, the Jayhawks led the nation in quadrant one wins, went undefeated against unranked teams and only lost games to ranked teams, one each at neutral site, home, and away. The Jayhawks set a team record for combined team GPA with a GPA of 3.21.{{cite tweet |author=Kansas Men’s Basketball|user=KUHoops|number=1268330477888385024|date=June 3, 2020|title=GPA}}

The 2020 Big 12 men's basketball tournament was cancelled March 12 before the quarterfinals were able to begin; The Jayhawks were scheduled to play Oklahoma State. Later that day, the University of Kansas announced that travel for athletics, as well as all home and away athletic events were suspended.{{cite web|title= All Power 5 leagues cancel conference tournaments|url= https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28891602/big-ten-sec-american-cancel-conference-tournaments |website=ESPN.com}} That afternoon, the NCAA cancelled the 2020 NCAA tournament prior to the Big 12 naming an automatic bid. It was the first time in the tournament's history it had been canceled. After the cancellation, the NCAA stated it did not intend to name a national champion.{{cite web |title=NCAA cancels remaining winter and spring championships |url=https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/ncaa-cancels-remaining-winter-and-spring-championships |website=NCAA.com}}
From a standpoint of a mythical national championship claim that the program has not made, the program finished first in both wire service polls, which in college football (which the NCAA has never held a tournament at the FBS level) is recognised as a "consensus" national championship. Kansas currently recognises the Helms Athletic Foundation rankings released in 1943 of the 1921–22 and 1922–23 teams as national champions.
