Bracketology breakdown: Where KU stands ahead of Big 12 championship game

Kansas head coach Bill Self directs his players during the second half, Friday, March 15, 2019 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas has just one game left before Selection Sunday.

The Jayhawks (25-8) have won three games in a row, including back-to-back contests in the Big 12 tournament. In the Big 12 semifinals, Kansas took down 10th-seeded West Virginia by an 88-74 margin to advance to the championship game for the second year in a row.

With that, KU’s NCAA tournament projections are starting to become more clear. The Jayhawks certainly could add to their resume tonight with a win over Iowa State in the Big 12 championship, which begins at 5 p.m.

As of Saturday afternoon, though, Kansas has mostly been listed as a 4 seed on bracketology sites. However, a few outlets have KU as a 3 seed. Northeastern, a projected 13 seed, is the most common opponent.

Kansas has been a 1 or 2 seed for nine consecutive seasons. The last time KU was a 3 seed was in 2009, while the team hasn’t been a 4 seed since 2006.
