Where 2022-23 Jayhawks Stand
The status quo appears to be holding strong in Lawrence when it comes to the Jayhawks continuing their unprecedented dominance of the Big 12.
Since arriving in 2003, Bill Self has gone 275-67 (.804) in Big 12 play, only losing more than four games on four occasions.
This year’s squad has a shot at continuing that success, with an opportunity to finish the Big 12 slate with a 14-4 record if they beat the Red Raiders and Longhorns this week.
Doing so would secure the school’s second straight season with 14 conference wins and the 11th time in 20 years the Jayhawks have won that many Big 12 games under Self.
Kansas should have the upper hand against both Texas schools, as its won three straight (and 42 out of 49) against the Red Raiders and two straight (and 34 out of 45 total contests) against the Longhorns.

Breaking Down Big 12 Tournament
Pulling down the No. 1 seed in the 2023 Big 12 tournament would allow the Jayhawks to play the winner of an opening round contest between Texas Tech and West Virginia in the quarterfinals.
From there, Kansas would likely play either Baylor or Iowa State in the semifinals. Kansas has won four conference tournaments since 2013 and has a shot at repeating as champions if it runs through the Kansas City event unscathed.
For now, the Jayhawks will look to “rock chalk” their way past a pair of Texas schools in hostile environments, as they look to enter the conference tournament on a high note.
