The Kansas Jayhawks basketball team on Sunday was awarded a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Regional of the NCAA Tournament. KU will play No. 13 Northeastern in the first round on Thursday in Salt Lake City.
If Kansas wins, it would face either No. 5 Auburn or No. 12 New Mexico State in the second round Saturday. If the Jayhawks advance further, they would play in the Sweet 16 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, potentially against No. 1 seed North Carolina.
The Jayhawks, who were ranked No. 17 in last week’s AP poll, won two games and lost one at the Big 12 Tournament and enter the NCAAs with a 25-9 record.
