The #16 seed has never beaten a first seed, and the line here for this one is reflecting the talent differential which is gaping wide. That should mean we see a lot of time for role players, and benches clearing deep to get minutes for team members that don't usually get floor time. Austin Peay has shot the ball well, but they are stepping into the deepest end of the pool here, and things aren't going to look the same. Kansas has played a rugged Big-12 schedule against a lot of tourney bound teams, and held nine of their last 12 opponents to under 40% shooting. Peay is in a lot of trouble here, especially offensively, and while Kansas may get to 50 in the first half, the last 10 minutes of this game is going to go quickly with a lot of reserves missing shots. Take the UNDER.
