My Prediction
Kansas Jayhawks by 24Now strap in, 'cause this is where we get to the juicy stuff! We've got the Brown Bears lumbering into the home of the Kansas Jayhawks. Just to jog your memory, the Jayhawks swoop into this game with a noteworthy number 8 ranking under their belt.
Sizing up the players, the Bears rely on top performers like Landon Lewis, Kino Lilly, and Aaron Cooley. Now, don't you sleep on Landon Lewis, even if his name sounds like a hipster bookstore. He's been averaging 16.8 points and 7 rebounds a game last month. And the Lilly flower, Kino, pumped out a sweet 18.8 points a game, too. But let's not forget good ol' Cooley. Despite his name, his game's been on fire with 15.5 points and 5.3 rebounds a game last month.
Swinging over to the Jayhawks, their top guns are Hunter Dickinson, Dajuan Harris, and Zeke Mayo. With Dickinson, you'd think he's writing poetry on court with 13.4 points and 9.6 rebounds last month. Meanwhile, Dajuan has been spreading around the joy (or panic, if you're the Bears) with his 13 points and 6.6 assists per game. Mayo might need to add a bit more spice to his game, but his 12.2 points a game ain't nothing to sneeze at.
Now look, regular season records show the Bears at 7-3 and the Jayhawks at an ever-so-slightly more impressive 8-2. Recently, both the teams have had some good and bad times. The Bears have had some close shaves with wins while the Jayhawks have been playing seesaw with their scoreline.
All said and done, the Jayhawks have the home advantage and higher AP ranking, and that gives them quite the upper hand here. The Bears might have to hibernate this one out 'cause, it's not going to be a picnic in the park for them.
