The Kansas Jayhawks will play the Miami Hurricanes in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

The Miami Hurricanes are 26-10 (14-6) this season and have won six of their last seven games. Miami defeated Iowa State by a score of 70-56 in the Sweet Sixteen. Miami shot 46.4% from the field and made 9 three pointers in the win. Kameron McGusty led the Hurricanes with 27 points and 6 rebounds in the game.

Miami is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games. The under is 4-0 in Miami’s last 4 NCAA Tournament games. Kansas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games. The over is 7-3-1 in Kansas’ last 11 NCAA Tournament games.

Kansas comes into this game as one of the favorites to win the Title and is the only one seed left in the Tournament. Miami has played very well in the Tournament and is one of two double-digit seeds to make the Elite Eight. On paper, it looks like Kansas should win this game easily. Kansas is better in just about every metric and should have a big advantage in rebounding. I like Kansas to win, but I think this will be a lower scoring game with an emphasis on defense. I am taking the under.
