WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — It’s time for March Madness, and the University of Kansas (KU) Jayhawks are currently a No. 1 seed and will take on Howard University on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks finished the season with a 27-7 record, capped off with a loss in the Big 12 Championship game to the Texas Longhorns.
Howard, on the other hand, enters the tournament as a 16-seed. Only once in NCAA Tournament history has a 16-seed team beaten a one-seed, with the University of Maryland-Baltimore County defeating Virginia in 2018.
While the odds seem to be in KU’s favor, the Jayhawks will have to come prepared. Howard finished the season with a record of 22-12, capped off with a 65-64 win over Norfolk State in the MEAC tournament on Saturday.
