Kansas vs Kentucky Preview
Both Kansas and Kentucky enter this matchup 2-0, although neither has really been tested yet. The Jayhawks scored 99 points in each of their two games, taking down North Carolina Central and Manhattan in convincing fashion. On the other side, the Wildcats have earned victories over New Mexico State and Texas A&M-Commerce. The Jayhawks covered the spread in both of their games, while Kentucky is 1-1 against the number. The over is 2-0 in Kansas games, while the under is 2-0 in Kentucky games.
Both teams present balanced scoring attacks, as both Kansas and Kentucky are not too reliant on one individual player. Through two games, each team has five players averaging at least 10 points per game. Hunter Dickinson, who transferred in from Michigan in the offseason, leads the way for Kansas with 19.5 points per game with a shooting percentage of 65.2%. Kentucky’s leading scorer thus far is Antonio Reeves with 16.0 points per game.
Kentucky will be a bit shorthanded, as Aaron Bradshaw, Ugonna Onyenso and Zvonimir Ivisic won’t be available for Tuesday’s game. In addition, Adou Theiro suffered a concussion in the season opener and his status for Tuesday is still up in the air.
If the Wildcats want to pull off the mild upset, they will have to take care of the basketball. Kansas has one of the best offenses in the country, and Kentucky can’t afford to be giving away possessions. Look for the Wildcats to put an emphasis on protecting the ball, getting a good shot on each possession, and slowing the game down just enough in an effort to limit run-and-gun points for Kansas. The total for this game has ballooned up to 147.5, so it might be worth taking a look at the under in this one.
