Kansas vs Furman Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup with undefeated records, but Furman hasn’t really been tested yet. The Paladins’ best win is against either Belmont or Tulane, so this is a big step up in competition. Kansas has wins over Duke, Michigan State, and North Carolina, so they are battle-tested early in the season. I do think Kansas gets the win, but I think this is too many points against a team that should be decent this year. Take Furman and the points.
