In their last 5 games Kansas is only allowing an average of 51.8 ppg and they will be facing a WVU offense that only averages 67.2 ppg and as a team is shooting under 40% from the floor.
G Ben McLemore (16.2 ppg) leads the Jayhawks in scoring and his backcourt mate in freshman Eron Harris, who is averaging nearly 16 ppg since being inserted in the starting lineup and in his last 4 games he is shooting 50% (11/22) from behind the 3-point arc.
C Aaric Murray (9.6 ppg 6.7 rpg) leads the Mountaineers in scoring and rebounding and while WVU is not a high scoring team and they do not have one player averaging in double figures they have 7 players that are averaging over 7 ppg. They will have to play well as a team tonight to have any chance of scoring an upset.
The Mountaineers offense will be playing a solid Kansas defense led by 7′ FW Jeff Withey, who ranks 1st in the nation in blocks per game (4.3) and ranks 2nd on the Jayhawks in rebounds per game.
In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Kansas is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 games.
West Virginia is 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games, 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
Jason’s Pick: Kansas is not firing on all cylinders on offense, but that will change tonight and they will also keep up their good D, which is why they will easily win this game and cover the spread.
