Houston vs Kansas Prediction

Give me Kansas here. After this team struggled at times this season, they have really started to figure it out as of late. Zeke Mayo is playing with all kinds of confidence right now and they are going to lean on him here. Dickinson is also going to have a huge game here. The Houston defense isn’t going to be as good as they have been season and the Jayhawks will get the job done. Back Kansas against the spread here.
