UConn vs. Kansas CBB Prediction:
Both teams are coming off non-conference wins earlier in the week, entering this top-5 matchup.
Give me the Jayhawks here. Both teams are so talented, however I think the difference maker in this contest will be the home court advantage for Kansas. It is so difficult for opponents to come into Allen Fieldhouse and knock off the Jayhawks. Furthermore, Stephon Castle remains out for UConn, Castle is a talented player who helps provide depth at the guard position for the Huskies. Dickinson and the Jayhawks do enough to knock off and cover versus the defending champions on Friday night.
