About this episode
Kansas Jayhawks wrestle for a 3 seed—can Bill Self’s squad defy recent slumps for a surge up the NCAA Tournament bracket? Derek Johnson and Graham Doeren break down Kansas’ complex seeding outlook, spotlighting key Quadrant 1A wins over Arizona, Iowa State, and Houston, while dissecting damaging losses to Arizona State and Cincinnati. With the Big 12 Tournament looming, how much could victories over TCU and Houston boost KU’s resume, and what threat do teams like Gonzaga, Purdue, and Virginia pose to their seed?
The conversation highlights Kansas’ potential landing spots—Philadelphia, St. Louis, or Oklahoma City—and the critical Big 12 scenarios that could help or hinder their positioning. Graham Doeren explains how Selection Committee timing, path difficulty, and Big 12 peer outcomes impact KU’s fate. Plus, get insights on bubble hopefuls like Cincinnati, BYU’s injury concerns, and possible bracket-busting matchups in a loaded conference. Will the Jayhawks secure the all-important 3 line?
