Arizona's unblemished record has them firmly planted as a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, but a loss at Kansas could create some wiggle room for other contenders. The Jayhawks, currently ranked 13th in the NET rankings, are looking to strengthen their own top-16 seed line position with a win over the second-ranked Wildcats. A victory for Kansas would not only be a significant resume booster but also give them a crucial Quad 1 win, improving their 6-5 record against top opponents.
