Kansas basketball coach Bill Self reacts to loss against Arizona

Check out what Kansas basketball coach Bill Self and his players had to say Thursday following a Big 12 Conference tournament loss against Arizona.

LAWRENCE — Kansas basketball saw its run in the Big 12 Conference tournament end in the quarterfinals with a loss against Arizona.

So, ahead of this year’s NCAA tournament, the resume the Jayhawks (21-12) possess is set. There’s nothing more coach Bill Self and his team can do except wait and see how the rest of the teams still playing in conference tournaments across the country perform. Then, KU will find out where its next NCAA tournament appearance will begin.

Did exiting in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament with that defeat against Arizona, after beating UCF in the second round, do a lot to where Kansas might end up? Do the projections think the Jayhawks are being viewed similarly to how they were before those two games this week at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri? Time will tell what the path KU takes in March Madness looks like.

Here are a few projections:

This projection from Friday would see Kansas start off as a No. 6 seed against a No. 11 seed in Vanderbilt, a Southeastern Conference program. Should the Jayhawks win, they’d go up against either No. 3-seed St. John’s or No. 14-seed UNC Wilmington. St. John’s, of course, is led by coach Rick Pitino.

This projection from Friday views Kansas a little lower, as a No. 7 seed that would go up against No. 10-seed Oklahoma. Although Oklahoma is a SEC program, those two schools would by no means be strangers given Oklahoma’s recent stretch in the Big 12. Win, and the Jayhawks would go up against either No. 2-seed Tennessee or No. 15-seed Robert Morris.

This projection from Friday also views Kansas as a No. 7 seed, and would have the Jayhawks face No. 10-seed Georgia — another SEC…
