(1) Kansas vs. (8) Arkansas

Leg 1 – Kansas 4.5 (-102) 

I know, everyone wants to see an upset.

I don’t see it happening here.

Arkansas has shot just 31.6% from long range while hitting only 69.2% of foul shots this season. Inside, the Razorbacks have had success, shooting 53.2% from the field. However, Kansas has held teams to 31.2% from deep and 47.2% from inside the arc.

The Razorbacks would need to be very aggressive on the offensive glass and get to the foul line at a very high rate to even have a chance at winning this game.

It’s unlikely. Kansas will also probably get to the foul line more frequently. The Razorbacks foul at a very high rate despite holding teams to 30.4% from three and 46.8% from inside the arc.

Kansas is the better shooting team, hitting 34.6% from three and 53% form inside the arc. They’ll match Arkansas on the glass and limit turnovers more. Back Kansas to escape Arkansas and move on to the Sweet 16.

Leg 2 – Over 143.5 (-110) 

Kansas and Arkansas move at an above-average pace. Arkansas is going to help push this game over with the amount of fouls in this game. Kansas shoots 72% from the foul line and should earn a solid chunk of points there.

Both teams will have second chances in this game and both have done well shooting the ball inside the arc. Plus, both teams would rather try and score inside the arc then shoot threes. Higher quality looks make it easier to score and tack on points.

Take the Over in this game.

Leg 3 – Gradey Dick Over 14.5 Points (-106)

Dick has averaged 14.3 points per game this season. But other than his game against Texas, he’s been much better from the field in the second half of the season.

Dick scored 19 against Howard in 32 minutes and had 15 against Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament. Prior to that, he scored 18 against West Virginia.

He’s taken at least ten field goals per game over the last four games and has three games shooting at least 40% in those four games. Look for Dick to have a big night for Kansas as the second-best scorer.
