Portland State at Kansas

The problem for the Vikings here is that their output against the few top-caliber teams they have played this year has not been good. But in those games they did manage to slow the pace. You can bet Portland State isn't interested in getting into a track meet with Kansas. They are going to slow this game down as much as they can, try to drop some 3's, and hang tough. Their game with UCLA featured just 117 total points. Against Akron 129 were scored. And a total of 132 was reached vs. Washington State. Kansas has slowed down a bit offensively as the season has worn on. They failed to reach 70 points just once in their first 24 games and have since failed to reach the 70-point mark in four of their last ten. Their early season out-of-conference games against some weaker teams showed them going 8-3 to the UNDER as well. In non-conference games overall the past two seasons, the Jayhawks are 19-10 UNDER. We like this one to stay UNDER the posted total.
