Northeastern vs. Kansas

Kansas had a three-game winning streak snapped when it lost to Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship game, but the Jayhawks have covered four of their last five when following an ATS loss and they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven neutral-site games. Also, going back further, the Jayhawks are 39-18-3 ATS their last 60 games after any loss. Kansas is led by Dedric Lawson who averages 19.1 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. The Jayhawks allow opponents a shooting percentage of only .408 overall and .428 on neutral courts. Northeastern won the Colonial Athletic Association championship and the Huskies are on a roll winning their last seven games, but the pedigree of the Big 12 Conference compared to the CAA cannot be ignored. Northeastern had earlier losses to Boston University and Vermont and lost to Davidson twice. The Jayhawks haven't lost in the first round since 2006. Lay the points with Kansas.
