Kansas was the No. 1 team in the nation last week. Our college basketball predictions expect them to play like it today against NC State.
The Kansas Jayhawks will try to snap a surprising two-game losing streak as they host the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Saturday afternoon.
The Wolfpack have covered in just one of their last five games and are heading into Allen Fieldhouse for their toughest game of the year thus far. That issue will be exasperated by the lack of size in the NC State lineup. The Wolfpack play without a true center most of the time, and their primary forwards – Ben Middlebrooks and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield – each clock in at 6-foot-10.
Since the Wolfpack already struggle to shoot the ball from the outside, this means it will be tough for them to find scoring options this afternoon, while Kansas shouldn’t have much difficulty pounding the ball inside, then spreading the floor with guards Zeke Mayo and Dajuan Harris Jr. to balance the offense.I’m predicting a big win for the Jayhawks, but there are a couple of other bets I also like that we can use to build out a same-game parlay.
