StatSeed is StatSheet's postseason projections for all of Division I, including the NCAA Tournament, National Invitation Tournament (NIT), College Basketball Invitational (CBI), and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Read more about how StatSeed is calculated.

StatSheet is now projecting Kansas to be a one seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks are currently on track for an automatic bid, but don't need it to retain the invite as they're the #3 team in the AP Poll and sit at #4 in the StatSheet StatRank. They have a 26-5 overall record and a 16-2 record in the Big 12.

Over the last four games, Kansas registered a quality win against AP #5 Missouri and wins against Texas, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.

Kansas is respectable against top competition, with a 12-5 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 10-4 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 5-3 record against AP ranked teams. The Jayhawks boast 10 quality wins including AP #5 Missouri, RPI #39 Kansas State (2 wins), AP #12 Baylor (2 wins), AP #25 Iowa State, and AP #7 Ohio State with no bad losses at all.

The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Seton Hall (20-12, 8-10 Big East, StatRank #60), NC State (20-11, 9-7 ACC, StatRank #52), Oregon (22-8, 13-5 Pac 12, StatRank #54), and Texas (19-12, 9-9 Big 12, StatRank #58).

The first four teams out are Brigham Young (25-8, 12-4 West Coast, StatRank #48), Cincinnati (22-9, 12-6 Big East, StatRank #69), Mississippi State (21-10, 8-8 SEC, StatRank #76), and Tennessee (18-13, 10-6 SEC, StatRank #85).

The next four out are Illinois (17-14, 6-12 Big Ten, StatRank #77), Iona (25-7, 15-3 MAAC, StatRank #47), LSU (17-13, 7-9 SEC, StatRank #83), and St. Joseph's (PA) (20-12, 9-7 A-10, StatRank #52).
