Saturday, April 02, 2022 at 6:09 pm
This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS for our CBB Final Four Enforcer. Kansas has won nine straight games including a comfortable 16-point win over Miami in the Elite Eight. The Jayhawks offense has remained potent and is ranked No. 29 in scoring offense and No. 23 in shooting offense. They are easily the deepest of the two teams and they have five players averaging double-digits in scoring. While the Wildcats have a strong defense, the depth issue will be a liability for them on that side of the floor. Kansas is 19-6 ATS in its last 25 games after two or more consecutive unders. Villanova has also won nine straight games including an upset win over Houston by six points to get to the Final Four. It was costly for the Wildcats however as they lost guard Justin Moore who is averaging 15.3 ppg. Villanova is ranked No. 115 in scoring offense and No. 167 in shooting offense and those will take a hit with Moore on the sidelines. The Wildcats will face an improved Kansas defense that has allowed just 61.3 ppg in seven post season games. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season allowing 63 ppg or less going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after scoring 55 points or less. This situation is 73-31 ATS (70.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (702) Kansas Jayhawks
