Of course, we won't know the actual opponents until each day's games have
completed, but assuming Kansas advances, the most likely opponents would
mean that the Jayhawks have a 2.65 percent chance of winning the Big 12
Tournament Championship.

SITE   OPPONENT                         SCORE    PREDIC    ERROR    PROB.
----   -----------------------------   -------   ------    -----    -----
NEUT   # 42 Cincinnati                  73  70    +2.88             0.607
NEUT   # 14 Baylor                      74  75    -1.34             0.450
NEUT   # 12 Iowa St.                    68  70    -1.86             0.430
NEUT   #  1 Houston                     63  71    -7.96             0.226

The good news is that none of these are road games.  The bad news is that
injuries have depleted the Jayhawks, and there's not much bench to deal with
it.  Expect Braun to play extended minutes.  Expect to see KJ at the five.
Expect to see lots of Jackson, Timberlake, and McDowell.  Hell, we might
even see Jankovich, especially in the Big 12 Tournament, with so many games
on consecutive days.

Look on the bright side:  Kansas might get to play 41 games this season.  Or
the dark side:  Kansas might play only 33 games.  We've already fallen behind
Kentucky in the all-time wins category by 1 win this season.  Here's an opportunity
to make up some ground if the Jayhawks can go deeper in these two tournaments
than the Wildcats.

So you're saying there's a chance....

There’s always a non-zero chance.
