Kansas has now dropped three games in a row which has taken them from the #1 overall seed to a 2 seed. The Jayhawks have every opportunity to get back to the 1 line, but if they finish 6-4 as Kenpom suggests they won’t get there.

When Skyy Clark left the team at the beginning of January, I thought there was a good chance that Illinois might miss the tournament. They’re 5-1 since then but yet to pick up a Q1 win during that span- they have a good opportunity for one this weekend against a sliding Wisconsin team.
