Kansas vs. Kentucky Pick
The experience that Kansas has will go a long way in this game.
Kentucky is an extremely talented team, but they lack experience, and for most of this roster, this will be the biggest game that they have ever played in.
Kentucky has strong guard play, but they will struggle in the paint and on the glass. I expect both K.J. Adams and Hunter Dickinson to have a big game tonight.
