T.M. Selection: Kansas

I like the Kansas Jayhawks to win this game against the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Wednesday. The defending champs have looked very strong once again to open up this season. This will be the first game of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in Paradise Island, Bahamas. Jalen Wilson has taken on the superstar role this season, as he is averaging 24.5 ppg, along with his 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. Although NC State is perfect as well to start the year, the Wolfpack have looked a bit shaky in some of their games so far. They were only able to beat Campbell by six, and only beat a 1-4 Elon team by 11 as a 25.5 point favorite. I do not see the champs of 2021-22 losing this game in the first round of this tournament. Lay the points.

T.M. Prediction: 84-69 Kansas

Line: -8.5

Line Parameter: play until -9.5
