Pick

Howard has been playing very good basketball this season, but Kansas should have no issues in this game. Kansas is the better team by far and they should be able to get whatever they want on the offensive end of the floor. Howard has been able to score a good amount of points this season and they are shooting over 46% from the field, so I think we are going to see a lot of points here. I like the over.
