Kansas has more of a veteran element, with senior Udoka Azubuike and junior Silvio De Sousa in the post. Their returns are highly anticipated; Azubuike was limited to nine games last season due to injury, while De Sousa was ineligible for the season.

Look for sophomore guard Devon Dotson to build off a solid freshman season when he started in every game and averaged 12.3 points per game for the Jayhawks. With this game on a neutral site I like Kansas with their experienced team.

Lastly, Kansas has won the past three matchups in this series and I like they win the battle in the paint on the boards and pull away in the 2nd half.
