We had a fantastic Saturday on the blog. Sometimes Vegas drops little gifts on our doorway and you just have to take them. That we did. I took Sunday off and was about to take Monday off, but I figured we should make a pick.
Record: 15-8
Kansas/WVU Over 130
The Jayhawks head to Morgantown for a date with West Virginia. Kansas has been playing some low scoring affairs as of late failing to get to 70 points in five straight games. Naturally to me, that makes this a good time to bet on them breaking out. This is an offense that had a stretch of nine straight games of 70 points or more. There are far too many options for this team to struggle as much as they are right now. Ben McLemore has been great this season shooting 51% from the field while scoring 16.2 points per game. West Virginia is on the opposite end of the spectrum as they have no one putting up more then 10 points per game. They do have balance with seven guys scoring at least seven points per game. This is a team that is still capable of scoring points putting up at least 70 in four of their last six games at home. I'm going to hold my nose and take the over in this one.
