Kansas continues sliding in latest Bracketology predicting the men’s NCAA Tournament field
The falling position of the Bill Self team in the poll is now reflected on the bracket that is projected. Despite the fact that there are still four Big 12 teams that are ranked among the top 16, the Kansas Jayhawks will need to navigate a challenging final week of the season and maybe win at least one game in the conference tournament in order to maintain their position as the top seed alongside Houston, Iowa State, and Baylor. Additional losses might make an already outstanding history for Self even more complicated. Since he took over as head coach of Kansas in the 2003–2004 season, the Wildcats have never made it lower than the fourth seed in the tournament.
According to our most recent forecast, the top line has not moved, with Houston, Connecticut, Purdue, and Tennessee continuing to occupy the top slots in the regional rankings. In addition, the No. 2 teams continue to maintain their position, despite the fact that Marquette’s case took a slight damage over the weekend due to their loss to Creighton.
Further down the bracket, Gonzaga is now comfortably in the field as a No. 8 seed, which comes at the expense of Saint Mary’s, which is a rival of Gonzaga’s and is a member of the West Coast Conference with a ranking of No. 5. Currently, there are two teams in the Big East that are still in contention for a berth in the First Four, while Wake Forest has been relegated to the outside.
