Kansas Basketball's NCAA Seed Reveal

0:00On March 15, Kansas basketball hit a rough patch after an 8-game winning streak in conference play. The J-Hawks win 1 and 1 in the Big 12 tournament, scraving by TCU before a big loss to Houston in the semis. Now they're waiting on Selection Sunday tonight for their NCAA seed, with most projections putting them at a number 4 or number 5. Earlier this week, ESPN Brachatologist Joe Lunardi dropped them to a number 5 seed for the first time since mid-January. But our take bumps them up to a number 4 in the Midwest region, especially after Vanderbilt slipped following their SEC title game loss. Coaches like Bill Self, know a higher seed, means easier early matchups and smoother paths, deeper into March madness. Fans are buzzing about how this could swing Kansas' whole tournament run. What tips the scales for the committee? Kansas boasts the number 1 strength of schedule nationwide, plus key wins over top seeds like Arizona, Houston, and Iowa State. They finish 3rd in the Big 12 at 12 and 6.
