Kansas Tournament Resume

Kansas (23-6, 12-4, T-1st Big 12)
Seed: #3 Syracuse Regional
How they got here: At-large bid

The good: They hit the jackpot with all their mid and low major schools turning out to have great years. That is why they are still #1 in the RPI. Have played more tourney teams than any other school. Simien is a big reason why Kansas any any hope left.

The bad: They are not playing the same level of basketball that they were earlier in the season. A lot of those losses were close, but that loss @Missouri at the end of the season could be very telling. They are 1-4 in their last 5 road games. You know what they say about teams that are not playing good going into the tourney. (They don't last long)
