Oakland Has Struggled

Oakland won the first game of the season against Non D1 competition but since that point, there have been some major issues. Two games ago against Boise State, Oakland was defeated 87-43 and in the last game against Illinois, they were defeated 66-54. The defense wasn’t bad but the offense just couldn’t do enough and that led to the defeat. Oakland is averaging 37.7 percent from the field but only 16.6 percent from deep. Jayson Woodrich put up 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists.  In this game, in a tough environment, the offense will need to be better, or this will be a long game. 

Why Oakland Will Cover Against Kansas 

• Oakland has won seven of its last eight Saturday games.

Tough Schedule for Kansas 

It’s been a tough schedule to start the season for Kansas, much like it usually is and so far they have passed the tests. Two games ago against North Carolina, Kansas won 92-89, and in the last game against Michigan State, they won 77-69. Kansas was up 30-24 at halftime and in the second half the offense scored 47 points on the way to the victory. Center Hunter Dickinson couldn’t be stopped, and he put up 28 points, 12 rebounds, and one assist. Dajaun Harris put up 11 points, six rebounds, and one assist. Kansas only shot 29.4 percent from behind the three-point line, and they are going to need to shoot the ball better here. 

Oakland vs Kansas Prediction

Kansas is going to win this game, but this is too many points to lay with them. Kansas defense hasn’t been exactly great, and they are going to really struggle to defend again here. Kansas is going to make the Oakland offense look good here, and even on the road the Golden Grizzlies are going ot find some offensive success. Look for Oakland to keep it within 20. Back Oakland against the spread.
