UConn vs Kansas Betting Prediction

I think the last game was a look ahead spot for Kansas and they are going to be better here. Allen Fieldhouse is one of the toughest places to play in the country and they are going to be a big advantage in this game. Hunter Dickinson has been a mismatch all season and he’s going to have a big game again here. The Kansas defense is going to step up in a big way here also. Kansas is averaging 81.3 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Back Kansas against the spread.
