Who's Playing

Texas-El Paso @ No. 8 Kansas

Current Records: Texas-El Paso 4-3; Kansas 6-1

What to Know

The Texas-El Paso Miners will take on the #8 Kansas Jayhawks at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday at T-Mobile Center. Kansas should still be riding high after a big win, while the Miners will be looking to right the ship.

Texas-El Paso was close but no cigar last week as they fell 72-69 to the New Mexico St. Aggies.

Meanwhile, Kansas took their game against the St. John's Red Storm last Friday by a conclusive 95-75 score. Guard Christian Braun continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, picking up 31 points along with eight rebounds.

Texas-El Paso have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 18 point spread they are up against. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Texas-El Paso is now 4-3 while the Jayhawks sit at 6-1. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Miners have only been able to knock down 40.40% percent of their shots, which is the 37th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Kansas' offense has more to brag about, as they they enter the contest with a 51.80% field goal percentage, good for fifth best in college basketball. We'll see if their 11.40% advantage translates to a win.
