The No. 23 Kansas Jayhawks are 2-2 over their last four games after starting the season 10-0. One of the losses was to a Nebraska team that is hard to figure out. The Cornhuskers beat now-No. 9 Maryland by 23, putting up 90 points, but recently lost to lowly Rutgers by 12, only putting up 45 points. The loss to the Scarlet Knights was without fourth-leading scorer Allison Weidner, who played against both Maryland and Kansas, but it was still a head-scratcher.
The Jayhawks’ other loss came on Saturday, at home, to now-No. 18 Baylor. The Bears have been the model program in the Big 12 for a long time and are a very good team again this year.
A No. 6 seed in ESPN’s Tuesday Bracketology, Kansas is in good shape in spite of those losses. The Jayhawks were a No. 8 seed that made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year and with Taiyanna Jackson taking her game to a whole new level (team-leading 15.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game) in 2022-23 to complement returning No. 1 and No. 2 scorers Holly Kersgieter and Zakiyah Franklin, their ceiling is much higher this year.
