Betting on the Pennsylvania Quakers (23-8)<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re asking why the Quakers are here, it\u2019s because Pennsylvania <\/span>had a higher quiz score than<\/span> beat Harvard in the Ivy League Finals, 68-65. Beating a team like Harvard does not mean the Quakers could just thump their chests heading into Thursday\u2019s game in Wichita, but their defense is something that they will draw confidence from. Pennsylvania finished the regular season second in the Ivy League with only 68.8 points allowed per game. Furthermore, the Quakers are 73<\/span>rd<\/span> in KenPom\u2019s adjusted defensive efficiency with 99.9 points surrendered per 100 possessions by opponents. Pennsylvania needs to control the rebounds to slow down Kansas. The Quakers are tops in their conference with 41.4 rebounds per game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Betting on the Kansas Jayhawks (27-7)<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Jayhawks get to dance with Pennsylvania in the first round of the National Tournament, a game that they should win because that\u2019s what No. 1 seeds do in the first round. Kansas banks on its stellar defense that is being propelled by the Jayhawks\u2019 lethal backcourt. Devonte Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. Graham leads the Jayhawks with 17.3 points per game while Mykhailiuk gets 15.1 per outing. As a team, Kansas averages 81.5 points per game on 49.8 percent shooting from the field. The Jayhawks have range. They are shooting 49.8 percent from deep, and own an effective field goal percentage of 58.1. That does not sound good for Pennsylvania\u2019s chances for an upset. Kansas\u2019 offense isn\u2019t regarded as one of the best in the nation, but the Jayhawks should be able to tame the Quakers\u2019 mediocre offense that has mostly been sharpened by nobodies in prior to the National Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kansas cruises on its way to an 84-63 win.<\/span><\/p>\n
