*10* ANNIHILATOR on Kansas Jayhawks.

The #4 ranked Kansas Jayhawks will take on the #13 ranked Michigan State Spartans in Chicago on Tuesday in the Champions Classic. Kansas looked pretty sharp in it's opening game, and I think the Spartans will struggle against a deeper more talented Jayhawks team.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Feeling The Hot Hand - The Jayhawks scored a whopping 109 points on 55.7 percent shooting from the field, and an even more impressive 57.7 percent from beyond the arc. Five players scored in double-digits, and guard Brannen Greene led all scorers with 18 points in just 14 minutes of the bench. He hit all five of his three-point shots.

2. Injuries - The Spartans will be shorthanded without Gavin Schilling who is out indefinitely with a toe injury and Marvin Clark who has broken foot.

3. X-Factor - The Jayhawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games

Selection: This is a play on the Kansas Jayhawks (10*)
