The veteran-laden Kansas squad has opened the campaign going a perfect 7-0 but has also been raking it in for bettors. The Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS this season – their game vs Texas Southern did not have a posted spread – despite facing an average line of -18. The Jayhawks will once again be massive favorites when they take on the Washington Huskies in the Jayhawk Shootout at the Sprint Center.
Though the Jayhawks are undefeated, some people were expressing early-season concerns about the performance of Devonte’ Graham. The senior put those concerns to rest. Graham is coming off back-to-back 35-point performances in which he shot 66.7 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from beyond the arc. Graham now leads the team in scoring, assists and minutes.
Expectations were not too high for Washington entering the season after the departure of Markelle Fultz and head coach Lorenzo Romar. However, the Huskies have opened with a solid 6-2 record while averaging 81.4 points per game. Though Washington has lost its two true tests of the young season, there have still been flashes of excellence. Freshman guard Jaylen Nowell is averaging a team-high 17.9 points while shooting over 52 percent.
