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 (which started in 1938-39) was to have begun, claimed which finished No. 1 in the final polls (which the two major polls recognised began in 1946 for the AP and 1950 for the Coaches Poll). In that case, head coach Bill Self is supportive of claiming such a title.[3]
