(NCAAB) Samford vs. Kansas,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Samford (Away)
Result: Win
Samford is coming into this game with a 29-5 record this season and they were the best team in their conference at 15-3. They were the best team in their conference during the regular season and they also won their conference tournament to get here, winning all 3 of their games in their conference tournament by 7+ points. They have also been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 4 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games. They have been very consistent on offense as they have scored 70+ points in their last 4 straight as well as 13 of their last 14 games, and they have the 5th best offense in the country for points scored as they average 86 points scored per game. They also have a top 10 offense in the country for shooting percentage from the field and beyond the arc so they are not going to have any problems finding the points in this game to keep up with a banged up opponent. They are going up against a Kansas team that is 22-10 this season and they were 10-8 in their conference. They struggled a lot in the Big 12 this season as they were not as dominant as they have been in previous years. They have not been playing well in their recent games either as they lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games. They lost by 20 points to Cincinnati in their 1st round of the Big 12 Tournament and they have been awful in their recent games without their 2 best players McCullar and Dickinson. McCullar is ruled out for this game and Dickinson is still questionable but that is going to be a huge blow to Kansas as their depth is just not as talented when filling in the holes in the lineup. Kansas has also been a much different team away from home all season and without even 1 of those 2 key pieces in the lineup here, they are going to struggle to pull away in this game if they even win it at all. Samford will cover the spread in this game.
