Kansas -2 [3.3x]
Kansas is the better rebounding team [OR/DR], Michigan all season have been perimeter biased team [shooting too may 3pts] however Kansas is 26th in the nation is defending the 3pts [30% of Michigan’s scoring is from 3pt land]. and 1st in nation in defending the 2pts [55% of Michigan’s scoring is from 2pt land].
All metrics is very comforting however main reason for this pick is really is Michigan’s struggles against offence pounding the ball inside against their defence. Cue Jeff Withey, Michigan just have no answer for what he will do in the post.
Added bonus, Kansas is the more experienced side and more length as well.
Florida -13.5 [3.3x]
This is more of a situation play, FGCU have getting so many attention that favorite for the whole thing Florida have been an after-thought, I think they will jump all over FGCU with some lock-down defence here.
