The defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks (17-4 SU, 10-5 ATS, 8-7 O/U) have won six consecutive games since falling to Michigan State back on Jan. 10, covering the spread in every contest except one. The Baylor Bears (15-6 SU, 6-7 ATS, 8-5 O/U) got their 2008-09 campaign off to a fantastic start but are mired in the midst of a poor three-game losing streak.
The Connecticut Huskies, 20 and 1 straight-up, travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals.
