Kansas will face TCU in the Big 12 quarterfinals.
Rematch in the Big 12 Quarterfinals
The 6th seeded TCU Horned Frogs are set to play the 3rd seed Kansas in the Big 12 quarterfinals. The last time these two teams played each other, KU needed a miraculous comeback to win in Allen Fieldhouse. It raises the question of whether TCU will bring intensity, given their previous blown lead in Lawrence.
Potential Seeding Implications
The Jayhawks’ extra rest could help them keep TCU in check. There is a possibility that Kansas could find themselves a 5 seed in the big dance if they lose this one.
Questions Heading into the Game
The game brings up several questions. Will TCU really get after it, knowing they blew what could have been a season-defining win in Lawrence? Will the Jayhawks’ extra rest while TCU is playing a second game in 24 hours help them keep TCU in check?
