Lawrence – Kansas basketball has just undergone a second consecutive defeat on Monday, with its defeat on the road against Houston n ° 3.
The match will certainly not do much to help the Jayhawks (19-11, 10-9 in Big 12) trying to win a higher seeded in the next NCAA tournament. Coach Bill Self and Company has only one regular season match on the calendar, a home match against N ° 23 of Arizona, to increase its curriculum vitae before the start of the Big 12 conference tournament. And even the intensification of the senior day, or the race in the Big 12 tournament, will not solve all the problems that Ku is confronted.
But although there is still a certain level of uncertainty about the coming weeks, this does not mean that there are no projections for the place where Kansas is held before March Madness. This does not mean that there are not those who anticipate where the Jayhawks will start their next appearance at the NCAA tournament. They paint a table on the way that Ku will have to take to make another deep race.

Discover these projections, from the afternoon of March 4:
The Kansas would enter the NCAA tournament with the task of duty first send a seeded n ° 10 to VCU, and after that, the challenge increases quickly. Either Florida n ° 2, or Robert Morris n ° 15, would wait for the Jayhawks, and Florida is a candidate in the national championship. It would not be a shock if Ku experienced a third consecutive outing during the first weekend of the event.
It would see the Kansas faced a revenge opening match against a seeded 9 in Creighton, which the Jayhawks lost on the road earlier this season. Even defeat Creighton would lead to the probability that the self -employed team should upset a seeded n ° 1 in Auburn, which many would choose at the moment to win the national championship. As much as Ku would be a rare opponent in a moment like this, it does not guarantee that Kansas would be a selection of popular upheaval to reach the Sweet 16.
Here, Kansas is still a seeded n ° 6. It would be a seeded n ° 11 in Oklahoma that would hinder Jayhawks who will return around 32. However, while waiting for Ku, there could be the national finalist reigning in Purdue n ° 3 – which should beat the chattanooga n ° 14 to make a possibility.
