Purdue vs. Kansas

This is going to be an interesting matchup of contrasting teams. The perimeter game of Kansas goes up against the inside game of Purdue, led by Caleb Swannigan. Kansas has usually been a big team, focusing inside, but run a four guard set, and the four guards average better than 60 of their 83 points per game. On the other hand, Purdue likes to turn to Swannigan, and he leads the nation in double-double's with 28. they also have the 7'2" Haas as an inside scoring threat. The size has led the Boilermaker's to a +7 margin on the season off the glass. While Kansas is capable of knocking down shots, Purdue will be taking the higher percentage shots, getting more put-back opportunities and that is a lethal combination, putting pressure on the Jayhawks outside game. There is more margin for error with this Purdue team, so take the points on Purdue.
