4*
(NCAAB) Miami vs. Kansas,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -110.00 Kansas (Home)
Result: Win
Kansas has put together a strong tourney run with no weaknesses. They have outplayed their opponents at both ends of the court during the tourney, and their season-long stats prove their success is no fluke. They will exploit Miami’s defensive shortcomings in ways that the weak Iowa State offense could not, leveraging their excellent shooting against Miami’s weak shooting defense. The edge is even bigger on the offensive side, as Kansas gets 32.1% of their offensive rebounds compared to just 20.2% for the Hurricanes. The rebounding edge and strong defense will make Kansas’ points stand up, and they will advance to the Final Four while covering the spread here on Sunday afternoon.
