Ladies and gentlemen, freshen up your popcorn as we have the Brown Bears trotting into the terrifying territory of the #8 ranked Kansas Jayhawks. The Bears, sporting an impressive 7-3 record have shown significant prowess with players like Landon Lewis, who last month has been droppin' buckets to the tune of 16.8 points per game and securing 7.0 rebounds too. Let's not count out Kino Lilly's 18.8 points per game, while Aaron Cooley has been forcefully wedging a solid contribution inwards with 15.5 points per match.
But, oh boy, the Jayhawks are far from being scared birds. Ranking #8 in the nation with an 8-2 season record, there's a reason their nest is feared. That big reason is none other than Hunter Dickinson, the man's been hammering the board with a remarkable 13.4 points on average and almost securing a double-double with 9.6 rebounds! Not convinced? Let Dajuan Harris' 13.0 points convince you. He's been setting up plays left and right, accumulating a staggering 6.6 assists per game.
The Jayhawks are flying high off a recent victory over North Carolina State and, honestly, who can forget their epic triumph over the Duke Blue Devils. Perhaps that Blue Devils defeat left a bitter taste for the Jayhawks following those shock losses to the Missouri Tigers and the Creighton Bluejays.
The Brown Bears aren't ones to shy away from a battle, either. They're entering this contest on the back of five straight victories. Not tea parties by any means...but nothing like a Duke face-off in the cauldron of competition, now, is it?
In conclusion, although we commend the tenacity of the Brown Bears, I feel this game leaning heavily in favor of the host team. With the might of Jayhawks and their home advantage, it seems the Bears have a mauling coming up. Well, I'd brace for impact.
