Analysis: While Michigan State is playing fine basketball coming into this contest, I like the underdog Kansas Jayhawks to cover the small spread with the outright win tonight. Sure the Jayhawks are a bit young and don’t have a true superstar player, but what they do have is an excellent head coach and a team that plays wonderful ‘team’ basketball.
Don’t be surprised BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting members when the Jayhawks ‘upset’ the Spartans in this contest.
