Kansas's resume is built on eye-catching neutral-site triumphs over Tennessee, Syracuse and Notre Dame that show the Jayhawks can beat quality opponents away from Allen Fieldhouse, but it is tempered by a road defeat at North Carolina and a bad home setback to Connecticut that expose inconsistency. A neutral loss to Duke and a rout of Green Bay paint a split-picture of performance on big stages versus against lesser foes. The remaining slate, which features road tests at NC State, Arizona and Iowa State along with high-profile home dates against Baylor and BYU, offers clear chances to either reinforce the resume or add damaging results. That balance of signature wins, ugly losses and a difficult set of upcoming games explains the team’s current standing and why this part of the season will determine its NCAA tournament fate.
