UConn vs Kansas Prediction
I’ll stick with UConn in this one. You could certainly call it either way, though. The Huskies are for real; they’ve got a couple of very nice wins in the bag already. The latest came versus a good Illinois team, and UConn held the Illini to just 31.7 percent shooting from the field and 20.7 percent (6-of-29) from outside in a double-digit victory there. The Huskies shot a tepid 41.3 percent from the field themselves but made up for it with 35.7 percent (10-of-28) from 3-point range and 40 rebounds. UConn has posted 72 or more points in each one of their wins so far this year.
As for Kansas, they posted a great second half in their comeback win versus Tennessee. The Jayhawks shot 42.1 percent from the field in that one but really won the game from the line on 26-of-30 (86.7 percent) there. Kansas is looking good on this three-game win streak, but they’ll have their hands full versus UConn. Good thing this is a home matchup. Anything could happen.
