I don't know what the committee is going to do. But KU had 17 quad 1 wins in 34 games. Literally half of their games were quad 1 wins. All 6 losses - quad 1.
Quad 1 records of other potential #1 seeds:
Kansas: 17-6
Alabama: 12-5
Purdue 9-4
Houston: 7-1 (with a Quad 3 loss)
UCLA: 8-5 (no longer in the running with the loss last night)
Texas: 14-8
Gonzaga: 6-3
Arizona: 9-2
Marquette: 7-5
Kansas went 27-7, but if you had any of those other teams roll with 24 (!) quad 1 games on their schedule, how many do you think they win/lose?
As for their last two losses. Honestly, they had nothing to play for in Austin last week - they had already wrapped up the conference title. And, in the conference tourney, they were missing one of their starters on a really shallow team (they goes 7 deep, at best) and Self. Not excusing either away, but there are reasons why their best foot wasn't forward.
