The early NCAAB Power system play is on Kansas. Game 732 at 5:15 eastern. The Jayhawks realize they are not getting much respect this season and are WELL AWARE of all the media outlets reporting that they have been ducking Wichita St in regular seasons the past few season. That alone is motivation enough. However the tech stats are in Kansas favored here tonight as they are just a 1-2 point favorite, despite the 2 seed having a 63-22 record vs 7 seeds. Kansas has the #1 Strength of schedule this season and are 12-7 vs top 50 RPI Scale teams. Wichita is good but nearly as good as last season when they were beat by Kentucky. Wichita is just 2-2 vs top RPI Scale teams, 0-3 ats with 1 or less day of rest and 2-12 straight up and ats as a neutral court dog of 3 or less. In games vs BIG 12 Teams they are 5-10. Kansas has won 21 of 25 vs teams who allow 64 or less and are healthier now then they were a few weeks ago. They dispatched of New Mex St easily and still have thoughts of last weeks 17 point blown lead in the BIG 12 Championship game. BIG 12 Favorites in round 2 are 22-9 ats. BIG Regular season champs vs Missouri Valley runner ups. Kansas has a chip on their shoulder. Rock Chalk Jay Hawk.
