Spread: Kansas -13.5
Total: 142

The Gaels are averaging 72.7 points per game on 41.7% from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 67 points per game. Kansas is averaging 81.4 points per game on 51.5% shooting from the field. They are 12th in the league in field goal percentage. The Jayhawks are allowing 65.6 points per game. The public is aware of this Iona team after beating Alabama a few days ago and with Kansas coming off a buzzer-beater loss to Dayton, this line is looking juicy to the average bettor. However, this is the Kansas Jayhawks that is fully loaded with Coach Bill Self who will be prepared for this game. Alabama is an inconsistent team and Kansas overlooked Dayton and it cost them their games. Iona was handled by Belmont after the Alabama win and brought back down to reality. Look for the Jayhawks to be hungry for a big win in this game.
