South Dakota State was a popular upset pick, dropping to as little as a 2-point underdog despite being a No. 13 seed against No. 4 Providence.<\/p>\n<p>The Friars were overrated, analytics experts said. They ranked 49th out of the 68 teams in the field, according to popular analytics site <a href=\"https:\/\/kenpom.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KenPom.com<\/a>. So what did Providence do? It easily took care of business against South Dakota State, rolling 66-57. Then 48 hours later, the Friars crushed Richmond 79-51 laying just 3.5 points, as the 12th-seeded Spiders were a popular second-round upset pick.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what the betting community missed: Providence <em>is<\/em> overrated. The Friars were just fortunate to draw two opening-weekend opponents that were ranked far lower by KenPom (South Dakota State at 81, Richmond at 86). So covering short numbers against inferior teams shouldn\u2019t have been a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas is another obstacle entirely. The Jayhawks (ranked sixth by KenPom before the NCAA Tournament started) are much better than Providence. They tied for the regular season title and won the tournament championship in the nation&#8217;s best conference this season (Big 12). More importantly, Kansas has advantages in almost every area, and that should show up Friday.<\/p>\n<p>This is the spot where Providence\u2019s deficiencies will pay off. Kansas is favored by 7.5 points, and it won\u2019t take much to post a double-digit win. Take the nice +148 price on the Jayhawks to win by 11 or more.<\/p>\n<h3>Kansas Jayhawks: G Remy Martin<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11654\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11654\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11654\" src=\"https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452.jpg\" alt=\"Kansas Jayhawks guard Remy Martin celebrates after making a basket against the Nevada Wolf Pack\" width=\"500\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452.jpg 1139w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-1024x848.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-768x636.jpg 768w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-90x75.jpg 90w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-180x149.jpg 180w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-270x224.jpg 270w, https:\/\/props.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/USATSI_17426452-540x447.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The prop:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/basketball\/ncaa-basketball\/providence-@-kansas-31315912?tab=player-points\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.5 points<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>The odds:<\/strong> Over -120\/Under -106<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t look at the season-long numbers when evaluating Kansas guard Remy Martin. The graduate transfer and former all-Pac-12 performer from Arizona State had limited playing time for much of the season while battling injuries.<\/p>\n<p>But Martin seems to be healthy at just the right time for the Jayhawks. His playing time has ramped up over the past four games, including scoring 20 points in 29 minutes in a second-round victory over Creighton. He scored 10, 12 and 15 points in the previous three games, gradually becoming a larger part of the Kansas offense each time out.<\/p>\n<p>Martin\u2019s prop total of 10.5 does not fully reflect his resurgence.
