Prediction: Can Kansas Stay Undefeated at Home Against Cincinnati?

According to Polymarket odds, No. 8 Kansas is a huge favorite going into Saturday’s game against Cincinnati. The Jayhawks have an 85 percent chance of winning, while Cincinnati only has a 15 percent chance. This shows how much better they are going into their first conference meeting of the season. Kansas is feeling good after beating Oklahoma State 81-69, with Darryn Peterson scoring 23 points. The Jayhawks have a great home record of 11-1 this season and an 18-6 record against teams that are currently winning. This gives them every reason to feel confident going up against the Bearcats at home.

The main point here is that Kansas has a lot of offensive firepower, and Cincinnati’s defense isn’t very good. Kansas scores an average of 77.3 points per game, which is 10.3 more than Cincinnati lets in on average. Cincinnati’s 3-point shooting, which averages 8.4 makes per game, is slightly better than what Kansas usually allows, which could make the game more competitive. But the Bearcats’ 0-3 record in close games and 6-7 record in the conference show that they don’t have the consistency to stay close late.
