Our KU vs Arizona Prediction
Simply put, the Jayhawks are not the team we have come to expect this season. Kansas has struggled with being inconsistent and the fact that they enter this game unranked says a lot about how their season has gone. The Jayhawks still defend well, allowing an average of 67.6 points per game, and are holding their opponents to an average of 39% shooting from the field.
That said, Arizona has one of the country's most prolific offenses, led by Caleb Love who averages 16.4 points per game. As a team, the Wildcats average 82.1 points per game, and while their defense could improve down the stretch, their scoring gives them the edge in this game. Arizona has also had plenty of success on the road this season, while Kansas has struggled to cover the spread in their home games. For this reason, our Arizona Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks prediction is Arizona +2.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
