Kansas vs Syracuse Prediction 

Kansas was able to get a nice victory on Monday against a scrappy Notre Dame team, despite missing one of their best players. The Jayhawks are shooting nearly 50% from the field and they have allowed 61 points or fewer in three of their last four games. Syracuse had Houston on the ropes last night, but couldn’t finish the job and lost in overtime. The Orange have a decent shooting percentage on the season, but really haven’t played anyone good except Houston. I think this is a very tough spot for Syracuse, as they will have trouble getting over the loss from Monday. Take Kansas to cover.
