The latest USA Today/Coaches poll is now out and local teams are making a lot of waves on a national level. As expected, the Kansas Jayhawks are No. 3 overall behind Kentucky and Syracuse for the No. 1 spot in the country and seem locked into a No. 1 seed if they can make their way through the upcoming Big 12 tournament. Missouri is also challenging for the same and is ranked No. 5 heading into tourney play. If the Border War showdown happens again, it would make for one of the best possible match-ups heading into the official tournament.
Wichita State is also in the hunt for a great berth in the NCAA Tournament and they're currently ranked No. 16 in the country.
