Kansas, while a traditional powerhouse, is showing a mixed bag this season with marked highs and lows. Notably, their victory over a dominant Kentucky and a solid performance against Tennessee demonstrate their ability to compete with top-tier teams, suggesting they have the raw capability to make a deep run. The win against a formidable Connecticut also bolsters their case. However, their inconsistency is a concern, as evident from the loss against Texas Tech and a staggering defeat at Houston, signaling potential vulnerabilities. The defense is undoubtedly robust, but those offensive rankings reveal room for improvement, particularly against aggressive defensive units. With the Big 12 being a proving ground, their performance in the conference has been admirable, yet the losses to Baylor and the recent stumble against Cincinnati in a neutral setting underscore that this Kansas team must bolster their consistency to solidify a deeper tournament expectation.
