Few teams enter NCAA Tournament with wider range of prospects than KU: Podcast
The Kansas Jayhawks won their most recent battle. How will they fare in the postseason wars?
In this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, beat writers Gary Bedore and Shreyas Laddha break down KU’s Tuesday night victory over Kansas State and look ahead to the Jayhawks’ postseason prospects.
Kansas, which entered the season as the nation’s top-ranked team but has fallen to No. 14 in the latest AP poll, does many things well. That showed in this week’s victory over Kansas State.
But it’s also a team with what could be some fatal flaws. This season’s Jayhawks have been good enough to defeat some of the nation’s top teams while also losing to the bottom teams in the Big 12.
Kansas hasn’t missed an NCAA Tournament since 1989, and that won’t change this year. Coach Bill Self’s program lives for March, but two years after winning the school’s fourth NCAA hoops title, is KU capable of making a deep run this time?
