Kansas basketball: Where will the Jayhawks land on Selection Sunday?
Kansas basketball will hope for a decent seat in tomorrow’s Selection Sunday despite withdrawing from the Big 12 Tourney.
Kansas basketball fans will be on the edge of their seats tomorrow afternoon, as CBS will reveal the 64 seats available in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
Following a positive test from sophomore Jalen Wilson, Kansas had no choice but to pull out of their conference tournament. While it’s a disappointing result, it does appear head coach Bill Self expects his team to be competing next week in Indy.
Assuming that the Jayhawks program remains healthy and does not produce any more positive tests, they should be set to make “the big dance” this coming Friday.
Before the tournament, junior David McCormack and sophomore Tristan Enaruna had also tested positive for Covid-19, having to miss the trip to Kansas City.

Kansas was initially predicted to fall on the bracket as 3 seed, but it could be a different story tomorrow afternoon following their cancellation of their matchup with Texas.
The good news is Baylor’s narrow loss against Oklahoma State, which knocks the Bears out of the conference championship and may sustain Kansas’ predicted seeding at around 3 or 4.
The Jayhawks will need to be in full force come next week, as having key contributors like McCormack will be a must for Kansas’ offense. An offense that didn’t look half-bad against Oklahoma this past Thursday, but will still need inside support.
