Kansas Jayhawks DFS Snapshot
Ochai Agbaji had 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and four steals in 34 minutes during Sunday’s 76-50 win over Miami (FL). Agbaji is coming of a couple performances where he struggled from a shooting perspective. He was little quiet to start the game, but exploded in the second half in larger part due to his defense and getting out in transition. If Agbaji is aggressively hunting his shot, Kansas is an extremely tough team to beat. He will look to help the Jayhawks get revenge for the 2019 Final Four loss to Villanova on Saturday.
Villanova Wildcats DFS Snapshot
Jermaine Samuels amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 10 rebounds over 33 minutes during Saturday’s 50-44 victory over Houston. Samuels led the game in scoring while collecting his fourth double-double of the season. Samuels has feasted across four tournament games, exceeding 15 points in each contest. He’s a key piece of Villanova’s Final Four aspirations.
