StatSheet now projects Kansas State as a bubble team for the NCAA Tournament with potentially an 11 seed. The Wildcats are sitting at #53 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 17-6 overall record and a 6-5 record in the Big 12.

During its last four games, Kansas State picked up wins against Texas Tech and Texas A&M but also suffered losses to RPI #39 Iowa State and RPI #81 Oklahoma.

Kansas State is sub-par against strong competition, with a 5-6 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 3-4 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 1-2 record against AP ranked teams. The Wildcats boast three quality wins including AP #4 Missouri, RPI #36 Long Beach State, and RPI #28 Alabama with no bad losses to speak of.

The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Arkansas (16-8, 4-5 SEC, StatRank #64), New Mexico (19-4, 5-2 Mountain West, StatRank #41), Minnesota (17-7, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #49), and Ole Miss (14-8, 4-4 SEC, StatRank #51).

The first four teams out are Brigham Young (20-6, 8-3 West Coast, StatRank #44), Colorado (16-7, 8-3 Pac 12, StatRank #64), Purdue (15-9, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #70), and Texas (15-9, 5-6 Big 12, StatRank #69).
