Fun as it may have been to watch Kansas go on a streak of a dozen years without a Big 12 regular-season title, the hopes of that were likely dashed when the Jayhawks beat Baylor last Saturday to pull into a tie for first place.
The Bears have two conceivable losses left on the schedule — against Texas Tech and at West Virginia — while Kansas probably only has to worry about the season finale at Texas Tech.
Barring any pre-March Madness, both the Jayhawks and Bears should be in line for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament.
