  • Quadrant 1: 4-7
  • Quadrant 2: 5-2
  • Quadrant 3: 7-0
  • Quadrant 4: 3-0

Additionally, their Win Above Bubble (WAB) metric sits at 27, which shows the team’s overall performance relative to the NCAA Tournament field. While their Quadrant 1 record leaves room for improvement, strong showings in Quadrants 2, 3, and 4 bolster their postseason résumé.

Not all teams can say they're undefeated below Q2. That's a big boost for the Jayhawks as it stands.

With Texas Tech on the horizon, Kansas will look to secure a crucial win that could have some serious Big 12 implications.

The Jayhawks continue to battle in a highly competitive Big 12 conference, where every victory carries significant weight in shaping their postseason fate as we inch closer to March Madness.
