Ok. Let's compare each loss, keeping in mind the difficulty in winning away v neutral v home, and the importance of rank and conference. All three have 2 losses.

1-st loss: UConn, Purdue and Kansas all lost away, in conference, to un-ranked teams: Seton Hall, Northwestern, UCF

2-nd loss for UConn: lost at [B]ranked[/B] Kansas, "true" [B]away [/B]game, [B]out of conference[/B]

2-nd loss for Kansas: lost to a [B]ranked [/B]Marquette, on a [B]neutral[/B] court, [B]out of conference[/B]

2-nd loss for Purdue: lost to [B]un-ranked[/B] Nebraska, in a "true" [B]away[/B] game, [B]in conference[/B]

Conclusion: The first of the losses for each team can be considered a push; all away, in-conference, to un-ranked teams(stinkers for all three). However the conditions that describe the 2-nd loss favors UConn, IMO. UConn has not lost on a neutral court, but Kansas has. Neither Kansas or UConn lost twice away, in conference, but Purdue has.

Therefore my completely unbiased :D opinion is, UConn #1.
