(1 Pick)

9:00 PM EST: Cincinnati +8.5 (3 Units)

Cincinnati has the defense and match-up well enough to keep this tight. Kansas isn't a very deep team this year. McCullers averages 20 points and Dickinson 19.7 points per game this season. Then there's KJ Adams averaging 12.7 PPG before a major drop off to Dajuan Harris's 7. Slowing down Hunter Dickinson is the Key to beating this Jayhawks team.

He averages 11.3 rebounds per game on top of the 19.7 points and Kansas has struggled when he isn't at the top of his game. They have 3 losses this season and he's the common denominator. In losses to Marquette he had 13 points, 8 boards. Against UCF 12 Points, 4 Boards. Then last time out against WVU 19 points but just 5 boards. He shout below his season average in all 3 of those games.

Cinci has the bodies, defend the rim well, and are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. They start 2 Bigs standing 6'11 and 7 Foot Tall. They also rotate in another 6'11 275 pound man. 1 Junior and 2 Seniors. Big reason they're 6th in CBB in Rebound Rate. They also rank 21st averaging just 14.2 fouls per game which will come in handy at the end of the game.
