UM Kansas City vs Omaha Prediction
UM Kansas City is coming off a nice blowout win yesterday, but now it’s being asked to string wins together, something the Roos haven’t done all year. Omaha not only has the rest advantage, but it has won both games and covered the numbers against Kansas City this season. Also, Omaha is 20-9 ATS on the season. There are only nine college basketball teams with a cover percentage above 68 percent, and Omaha is one of those teams. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Give me Omaha to advance to the semifinals.
