WKU (183) is also the 4th worst team in the field according to KenPom (behind three teams that are in play-in games: Liberty (251), NC A&T (226), LIU Brooklyn (185)). His system gives KU a 95% chance of winning on Friday.
Of course, KU lost to a worse team than this during the regular season already, so nothing is guaranteed. And obviously a worse team than WKU even won a game last year (Norfolk St.). Playing in KC certainly won't hurt their chances, though.
