  • A Round of 32 matchup on Saturday night pits the No. 1-seeded Kansas Jayhawks vs the No. 8 Seton Hall Pirates. Despite earning a No. 1 seed, Kansas wasn’t exactly a trendy pick to win the NCAA Tournament and might be offering nice value in this matchup after Sportsbook as a 4.5-point favorite.

    Shark Bites
    • Seton Hall is 1-6 SU in its last seven games against Big 12 teams.
    • Kansas is 24-6 SU as a favorite this season.
    • Kansas is 13th in the nation with a +10.7 average scoring margin.

    The Jayhawks remain undefeated at 7-0 SU on a neutral court this season and with four of their last five wins coming by double digits, this looks like a spot to pounce on them. The Pirates have shown a tendency to let games get away from them as they have four double-digit losses this season.

    Seton Hall has been inconsistent over the past few weeks, rotating wins and losses in the last four games. However, the team has put together a streak of six consecutive spread covers. If you want to back the Pirates in this one, you might want to shy away from the moneyline and stick with the spread, as they’re just 7-14 SU in their last 21 games as a dog. A quick glance at their game logs also shows that they don’t perform especially well vs strong competition.

    With the total hovering at around 153.5 points, bettors will be interested to know that Seton Hall has gone OVER in nine of its last 11 games, and these games had an average combined score of 162.36.
