Kansas padding bankrolls
Back in December, it looked like it was going to be a long season for the Kansas Jayhawks. As it turns out, they were just getting warmed up. Kansas began the season losing four of their first seven games. Among those losses was an embarrassing 61-49 loss to Arizona at the Maui Invitational. The poor start wasn't too surprising for the Jayhawks, who lost four starters from last season. Among them was their leading scorer Wayne Simien, who averaged 17.8 ppg. Regardless, that didn't stop the KU faithful from calling for the head of coach Bill Self, who saw his team humiliated by Bucknell in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament. Kansas had entered last season as a contender to win the national championship but ended up losing six of its last nine games. This season Self was forced to turn to his youngsters, and after the early-season stumble, the kids responded. Following their loss to Saint Joseph's on Dec. 6, the Jayhawks won 19 of their next 22 games. The kids saved their best effort for conference play where they went 13-3 straight up (SU) and captured a share of the Big 12 title with Texas. Their one big blemish was a loss to rival Kansas St. in January, which snapped a 31-game winning streak. Among the kids stepping up this season is 6-foot-6 freshman guard Brandon Rush, who leads the team in scoring with 14.1 ppg and rebounds with 6 rpg. He's followed by 6-foot-2 freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who's averaging 10.9 ppg. Three of the Jayhawks top four scorers are freshman, and the team's top seven scorers are, at most, sophomores. Kansas has also been a slam dunk for bettors. Heading into the Big 12 conference tournament, which starts on Thursday, the Jayhawks are 10-3 against the spread (ATS) in their past 13 games. Overall on the season, the Hawks have one of the best betting records in college hoops at 17-10 ATS. For those who like to wager on the total, KU has been a great UNDER bet. The Jayhawks have seen just 10 of 27 games (37 percent) top the posted total this season. Overall, KU is 22-7 SU on the season and will enter the Big 12 tournament as the No. 2 seed behind the Longhorns, who finished 25-5 SU. Their first game will be on Friday against the winner of the No. 7 Oklahoma State-No. 10 Iowa State game (7 p.m. ET). The Hawks have beaten both teams this season: 64-49 at Oklahoma St. as 3-point favorites, 95-85 at Iowa St. as 1.5-point favorites, and 88-75 versus Iowa St. as a 9.5-point home chalk. The Big 12 tournament will be played at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The Jayhawks are 8-2 ATS and 4-6 O/U away from home.
