Below are the most significant names dealing with injuries — whether in the starting lineup or possessing a key bench role. If a player is deemed “out,” he’s presumably done for the rest of the season. Of note, Kansas center Hunter Dickinson (shoulder) is expected back, but his teammate Kevin McCullar (knee) was ruled out for the entire Big Dance.

The Jayhawks are spread favorites against first-round opponent Samford.

Meanwhile, conference-rival Baylor announced Langston Love will miss the first two rounds. He’s doubtful if the Bears advance to the Sweet 16 or beyond, to boot. Although Love is only a reserve, he’s statistically Baylor’s best perimeter shooter (47.9%).

Elsewhere, All-American point guard Tyler Kolek will presumably suit up for Marquette. Like Dickinson and McCullar, Kolek was in street clothes for the entire league tournament with an oblique injury. The Golden Eagles are hefty favorites against Western Kentucky.
