Projection: first four out

Kansas has started the season strong with two solid wins, but the overall strength of their opponents raises concerns. Their victories over Howard and North Carolina are positive, especially given North Carolina's recent resurgence. However, the lack of proven competition further down the road may hinder their chances. The upcoming matchup against Duke is critical; a win there would significantly enhance their resume. Conversely, if they struggle against lower-ranked opponents like Missouri or Oklahoma State, it could further weaken their standing. Additionally, facing powerhouse teams like Houston poses a significant challenge that could result in a tough loss. Balancing strong performances against formidable foes while avoiding slip-ups against lesser teams will be essential for Kansas to solidify their place in the tournament.
