This game was given a prime time 7:45 pm tip on CBS. Kansas has opened as the favorite and the current line is -8.
I was looking at Kansas's stats and their top 6 scorers all shoot over 40% from the 3 point line, including their primary option inside, Perry Ellis. So obviously it will be important to guard the perimeter. UConn may need to go small at times this game. It should be interesting to see how UConn matches up against the best team in the country or certainly the team that has been the most consistent. UConn has nothing to lose here- they are not expected to win this game and advance.
