Kansas is No. 5 in the NET rankings and No. 10 in strength of schedule released by the NCAA through games played Feb. 23. Kansas is 10-4 against Quadrant 1 teams and its 10 Q1 wins tied with Baylor for the most in NCAA Division I.

A national player of the year candidate, senior Ochai Agbaji leads the Big 12 in scoring at 20.2 points per game, which is 17th nationally, and in three-point field goal percentage at 44.5%, fifth nationally. He has scored 20 or more points in 15 games this season and has produced 23 points in each of his last two outings. Agbaji has been named Big 12 Player of the Week four times this season.
