(NCAAB) Connecticut vs. Kansas,
Point Spread: -8.00 | -105.00 Kansas (Home)
Result: Win
Ninth seeded Connecticut Huskies will be matched up against the top seeded Kansas Jayhawks Saturday and this should be a very one-sided affair. The Huskies are riding a five-game winning streak and downed eighth seed Colorado 74-67 Thursday. None of the wins were against teams with a winning record though and we can note that they're 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 as an underdog. The only edge that UConn has here is at the FT line. I look for Kansas to win big by double digits. The Jayhawks are 12-3 ATS last 15 overall and off a 105-79 drubbing of the 16th seeded Austin Peay. The Jayhawks haven't lost since an 85-72 defeat at Iowa State on Jan. 25, and are averaging 85.3 points over their last six outings. I don't see how the Huskies will be able to keep up with strong Jayhawks team.
