This is a 10* play on Kansas.

I actually had to do a double take when I first saw this line. This is way too small of a number for Kansas to be laying at home, especially coming off a loss. Perhaps the oddsmakers have forgotten just how good the Jayhawks really are? More likely, it has to do with the loss of Udoka Azubuike (hand injury) for the rest of the season. But still, Azubuike is just one player. Sure, he is one of the better players on the team, but he wasn't the leader in either points or rebounds (that's Dedrick Lawson). Yes, KU's first game without Azubuike did not go well at all as they were blown out by 17 at Iowa State. But that was a road game and Iowa State is really good. Better than tonight's opponent, TCU, that's for sure. Plus the Horned Frogs have to come to Lawrence where the Jayhawks have lost only four times in the last 40 tries. It's a bad time for TCU to visit as well. Over the last three seasons, Kansas is 8-0 straight up and 6-1-1 ATS when off a conference loss. They have plenty of experience playing without Azubuike last year and should get the job done tonight. TCU has won nine straight, but this is their most difficult game all season. Play on KANSAS
