Instead, the No. 6-seeded Jayhawks wilted in an 88-77 loss at T-Mobile Center. A prime example came when Kansas trailed by five with 4:06 left. Kansas turned the ball over on two straight possessions and eventually lost another winnable game.

Kansas basketball suffered a loss in the Big 12 tournament to Arizona. That loss set a record for coach Bill Self.

The Wildcats may not have to beware of the Phog, but the Jayhawks should still enjoy a relative home-court advantage in Kansas City. Kansas beat Arizona just last week and can do it again tonight, per our college basketball betting picks.
