The Jayhawks enter this matchup with a more extensive history of facing formidable opponents, suggesting that these challenges will likely play to their advantage. Despite a close call against the Panthers, Kansas might not be the popular pick. Despite a 1-2 ATS record against top-12 teams, they've secured 2 wins out of 3 straight-up, and their home performance stands at 2-1 ATS.
Conversely, the Huskies have struggled in their last 2 games to cover the spread. The impact of C Donovan Clingan, averaging 15 points per game, has been pivotal for the Huskies, but he could face a tough challenge against Dickinson. Given the Huskies' lack of experience against formidable opponents, it's prudent to lean towards the team that has already proven itself against top-tier competition.
Looking back, the last game for Kansas seemed like a lookahead spot, and they are expected to perform better in this matchup. The intimidating atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse, known as one of the toughest places to play in the country, will likely be a significant advantage for Kansas. Hunter Dickinson has been a consistent mismatch all season and is anticipated to have another standout performance here. The Kansas defense is poised to make a substantial impact in this game. With an average of 81.3 points per game, Kansas should have no trouble putting up a high score. Therefore, backing Kansas against the spread is my bet for tonight!
Pick: Kansas -3 (-110)
🍀Best of luck!
