KN -11.5 @ BC
Kansas:

3-8 O/u
BC:
10-2
4-4 ats
5-3 O/u
First off, we've got a home dog of 11.5 (oddsmaker) on espn. thats an early lean towards BC.
Kansas, on the season, has played 3 legit big time schools; GT, AZ, and USC and each of those games were ones that came down to the wire. Kansas has been impressive in blowing out some small schools, but that doesnt have much to do with the game this weekend. BC has 2 losses on the year, both to decent programs, Umass and Prov. neither of those teams are world beaters, but both are well coached teams that play hard and can give most schools trouble. they also happen to be teams that wont always catch another schools best effort, game in and game out. you dont get up to play a providence like you do the Jayhawks. With that, BC doesnt really have any impressive wins. they went to MD and out played a weak terp team, and they have a decent win over Rhode Island. Looking over the wins you find that BC's worst performances didnt come in their losses, they, instead, came in two wins. BC only managed to beat northeastern by by 2, and sacret heart by 5. a last second 3 and all of the sudden BC has a terrible loss to a team like northeastern...beating a terrible team by 2 doesnt necessarily make you any better than beating losing to them by 1. for god sakes, NE only shot 18% from 3 in the game.
lookin over the rosters, kansas is a whos who over HS recruits and sometimes they play like it. they work hard on defense and they are unselfish. at other times, robinson struggles finding himself and i think he is a big key to their teams offensive success. For bc to win they will need Rice to be the best player on the court, which hes capable of being, and they'll need spears to bang around on the boards.
as a team, kansas shoots over 52% from the floor and they hold their opposition to around 38%. the jayhawks are clearly one of the best teams in the nation and they may be the most talented, but im gonna play the home dog on espn to start my saturday. i look for BC to play with a lot of passion and keep the game close. there will be times where they look outclassed, but ive got bc playing within the number.
bc +11.5
