Minutes ago, the Kansas Jayhawks were nominated as the 19th-best team in the nation according to the Associated Press.
This is a Kansas team that has stumbled over the past couple of years under head coach Bill Self. Since the 2021-22 NCAA National Championship, the Jayhawks have gone 68-32, while giving up Big 12 superiority to the Houston Cougars, who are led by Kelvin Sampson.
Since moving to the Big 12, Houston has gone 67-10 in its two full seasons, with last season ending in the Cougars falling narrowly short in the National Championship with a 65-63 loss to the Florida Gators.
