Randy’s Pick

The Kansas Jayhawks obviously the talent to mop the floor with Manhattan, but this is a boatload of points. This is a look ahead spot for Kansas, with Kentucky on deck next week. The Manhattan Jaspers are also an experienced team with 6 upperclassmen on their roster, so they shouldn’t be scared of the bright lights. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Kansas overlook this spot with Kentucky on deck. Give me the points with the Jaspers.
