Kansas season has reached the postseason, where Bill Self has maintained the tradition of the Jayhawks being a national powerhouse.

Kansas has dealt with a handful of injuries throughout the season, and while the team isn't at the top of the odds board to win the NCAA Tournament, the team is expected to make the 'Big Dance' as a No. 4 seed.

First, Kansas will hope to navigate the Big 12 Tournament

2024 NCAA Tournament Odds

Kansas projected to be a No. 4 seed in NCAA Tournament

Kansas is the No. 6 seed in the Big 12 after struggling to stay healthy, but the team will face the winner of Cincinnati and West Virginia before a potential date with Baylor, who the team split its season series with.

The Jayhawks seeding can be fluid, the team was seen as a No. 2 seed about a month ago, so a nice run in the Big 12 Tournament can improve its standing in the eyes of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

As seen above, odds makers are still attracted to the Jayhawks, but there are concerns emerging. KU has the 16th best odds to win the National Championship, +4500 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Make sure to stay plugged into the health of Kevin McCullar Jr. (leg) and Hunter Dickinson (shoulder) as to if KU can improve its standing next week in Kansas City.
