I don't see many offensive advantages for either squad in this game.

The Hogs rank 28th in defensive efficiency and will make the Jayhawks work for their buckets at the rim (21st in average opponent near-proximity shooting percentage). They're also roughly top 60 in mid-range defense and three-point defense and 45th in free-throw attempts allowed vs. the average opponent, per Haslametrics. I'm especially confident they will prevent Kansas from getting many second-chance buckets (28th in avg opponent second-chance conversion rate).

Kansas is similarly well-equipped to handle the Razorbacks. Arkansas ranks 20th in rim shooting percentage, but KU is 18th in NP attempts allowed and 27th in opponent NP shooting percentage. The Jayhawks are also top-30 in opponent FG%, FT attempt rate, mid-range %, and 3PT%. They'll keep Arkansas from getting second-chance buckets, too (46th in SCC%).

On top of that, these teams perform poorly away from home and rank 341st and 345th in Paper Tiger Factor, per Haslametrics. I expect a tight, competitive game, leading to the total going under 147 points.
