Why BYU can cover
Last Saturday, BYU didn't have too much trouble with Kansas State as they won 80-65. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Cougars. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead BYU to victory, but perhaps none more so than Dallin Hall, who posted 16 points along with two steals.
The Cougars are deep and balanced, with nine players averaging 16 or more minutes per game. Forward Richie Saunders leads the team in scoring, averaging 15.0 points per game. Guard Egor Demin averages 11.0 points and 5.5 assists per game. Center Keba Keita leads the team in rebounding, pulling down 7.6 boards per game on average. See which team to pick here.
Why Kansas can cover
The Jayhawks are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 74-67 loss against Utah. Despite their loss, Kansas saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Zeke Mayo, who posted 15 points plus six rebounds, was perhaps the best of all.
Despite their inconsistent play, few will argue that the Jayhawks are one of the most talented teams in the country. Center Hunter Dickinson continues to be a dominant force on the inside for coach Bill Self. Dickinson enters Tuesday's game averaging 16.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
