Howard Bison Betting Preview

The Howard Bison follow up this game by playing Missouri and Tennessee State. Howard has won a combined 40 games the last two seasons and has made back to back trips to the NCAA Tournament.

Bryce Harris returns after averaging 16.6 points and 7.5 rebounds, while Marcus Dockery averaged 13.5 points and 1.8 assists. Dom Campbell averaged 4.5 rebounds per game and Ose Okojie played in 367 minutes last season. Howard has made the big dance in back to back seasons and returns most of last year’s key contributors. Harris is the best player in the MEAC and more than capable of leading the Bison to another tournament berth. Exciting times on the basketball court for Howard.

Kansas Jayhawks Betting Preview

The Kansas Jayhawks follow up this game by playing North Carolina and Michigan State. Kansas won 23 games last season and has missed the NCAA Tournament just once since 1989. Coach Bill Self enters his 22nd season with the Jayhawks.

Hunter Dickinson returns after averaging 17.9 points and 10.9 rebounds, while KJ Adams Jr. averaged 12.6 points and 3.1 assists. Dajuan Harris Jr. averaged 6.5 assists per game and Elmarko Jackson played in 635 minutes last season. Kansas has a lot of key players returning and was able to land Zeke Mayo from South Dakota State and AJ Stoor from Wisconsin. The recruiting class also snagged high profile players Flory Bidunga and Rakease Passmore. After back to back second round exits, Kansas has the talent and experience to make a run at a national title.

Why the Kansas Jayhawks will win

• Kansas has won 65 of its last 66 games at Allen Fieldhouse against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Howard has lost 45 of its last 47 road night games against non-Conference opponents.
• Howard has lost the first half in each of its last four road night games against non-Conference opponents.

Howard vs Kansas Prediction

The Kansas Jayhawks are obviously the deeper, more talented team and could smoke this game if everything goes right. However, the Howard Bison bring back much of last year’s squad that made the big dance and has the best player in the MEAC. Howard is far from a pushover and will also be the more motivated side as the Bison don’t get big games like this often. This could be closer than most believe. Give me Howard and the points.
