The Kansas men’s and women’s basketball programs hosted the 34th annual Late Night in the Phog at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday, Sept. 28, 2018, and with it came all of the usual fun and fanfare that the event has been known for throughout the years.

From the men’s and women’s teams staging separate scrimmages to dance flow, skits, videos and a live performance from Grammy-winning rap star 2 Chainz, this year’s Late Night certainly had it all.

Said Kansas coach Bill Self, hosting Late Night for the 16th season since arriving at Kansas before the start of the 2003-04 season: “The marketing and Rock Chalk Video, they’re terrific. I thought it was good. I thought it got a little long to be honest. But I think everybody had a good time. The crowd was great.”

Be sure to check out our coverage and photos from the event. But for those of you who prefer to relive it like you’re watching it live, here’s a collection of videos from some of Late Night 2018’s best moments.
