Bracketology breakdown: A look at where KU stands on Selection Sunday
It is finally here, happy Selection Sunday everyone.
For the first time in awhile, there is a lot of unknown regarding the NCAA tournament for the Kansas Jayhawks. Not only do we not know KU’s opponent, but watching the Selection Show will be essential to finding out seed and region.
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.
As of Sunday morning, a 4 seed is the most common seed for Kansas. Northeastern also remains KU’s most common opponent. But the Jayhawks still could be playing at various locations, based on what everyone has thus far.
Here is a look around at 10 different bracketology sites to get an idea where Kansas is headed for the NCAA tournament:
