Instant Analysis
The Bison have two methods of offense, finishing at the rim and off-dribble 3-pointers. The Jayhawks are excellent in defending both areas.
Look for the Jayhawks to have no resistance in running screens and finishing at the rim, in a game that should have a bountiful number of points.
