Kansas vs Arizona College Basketball Betting Preview
The Arizona Wildcats and Kansas Jayhawks meet on Thursday night, and the winner will advance to the Big 12 Tournament semifinals.
The Wildcats posted a regular-season record of 20-11. That record will earn Tommy Lloyd’s team another trip to the Big Dance next week.
Arizona will attempt to bounce back from an 83-76 loss to this Kansas squad on Saturday in Lawrence.
Senior Caleb Love leads the Wildcats with 16.4 points per game.
On the other side, Kansas is coming off a hard-fought win over UCF in overtime last night.
The Jayhawks have had a disappointing season, considering they began the season ranked first in the nation and will end the season unranked. Bill Self’s team has posted a record of 21-11 overall and 11-9 in conference play.
Senior Hunter Dickinson has averaged a double-double with 17.6 points per game and 10.0 rebounds.
Despite Dickinson's play and the fact that this tournament is taking place in Kansas City, the line has continued to move in the favor of the Cats.
While Arizona just lost to Kansas, the circumstances of this game are entirely different.
The Jayhawks went 14-3 playing at home this season but were a completely different team in neutral-site and road games, going 7-8.
Kansas is in a tough spot tonight, playing on a back-to-back after a hard-fought overtime game. The Wildcats' fast pace will give Kansas issues throughout the contest.
