The seventh seed is Kansas’ lowest seed under head coach Bill Self and the program’s lowest seed since 1999-2000 under previous head coach Roy Williams.
The lowest seed under Self before Sunday was fourth in their regional seeding. That previously happened four times: 2003-04, 2005-06, 2018-19 and 2023-24.
For the second-straight year, the Jayhawks (21-12) failed to reclaim the Big 12 regular season conference championship. The past two seasons have belonged to the Houston Cougars.
After Kansas’ 88-77 loss to Arizona on Thursday in theBig 12 Championship quarterfinals, Self said the team needed a “couple of days to rest.”
