Kansas and Iowa State playing for the Big 12 Tournament Title, it made sense perfect sense on Saturday night at the Sprint Center.

KU basketball NCAA tournament seed announced
The Kansas Jayhawks are the No. 4 seed in the Midwest region of the 2019 NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks will face Northeastern in the first round this Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah. Should KU advance, it would play the winner of Auburn/New Mexico State. The regional will be in Kansas City.
