Gonzaga vs. Kansas Jayhawks over/under
The over/under on the contest is 151.5 points. The Jayhawks have surpassed that total four times in their past eight games, while Gonzaga has done so in one of their last four. With Kevin McCullar, the conference's leading scorer, missing the entirety of the NCAA Tournament, Kansas might have trouble putting points on the board. However, Kansas did post 93 points against Samford, so it will depend on how the Jayhawks hit their shots.
Gonzaga vs. Kansas Jayhawks prediction
Kansas basketball is in the midst of one of the program's worst seasons in the past few decades. They escaped with a win on Thursday but are at a serious disadvantage without McCullar. Nicolas Timberlake stepped up to provide shooting and offensive production, though his play has been extremely inconsistent.
Gonzaga has a much different style that Kansas. Rather than the run-and-gun style the team competed against in the first round, the Bulldogs tear teams apart with their interior defense and pick-and-roll action. It will be an extremely tough matchup for KU, and it will need everything to go right to pull off a victory. While Gonzaga is far from unstoppable, Kansas will likely run out of gas and have its season end today.
Final Prediction: 78-71, Gonzaga
