In way-early ESPN bracketology, Kansas projected as No. 2 seed in 2023 NCAAs

Kansas NCAA Joe Lunardi Basketball Baylor Big 12 KU Florida Houston Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas’ men’s basketball team is listed as a No. 2 seed in the South Regional of the 2023 NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN.com’s current projections revealed on Tuesday.

Analyst/bracketologist Joe Lunardi, who issues several brackets during the course of the college basketball preseason and regular season into the postseason, has defending national champion KU playing No. 15 Colgate in a first-round tourney game in Des Moines, Iowa. The winner would meet either No. 7 seed Michigan or No. 10 Florida in the second round, in Lunardi’s projection.

Kentucky is the projected No. 1 seed in the 2023 South Regional with KU the No. 2 seed, Duke the No. 3 seed and Indiana the No. 4 seed.
