McCollum, who is being touted as one of the best freshmen in the nation. Lehigh is a good shooting team, hitting 45.6% of their shots, and they\u2019re especially good from beyond the arc, ranking tenth in the country in that category. However, they don\u2019t shoot that many three-pointers, and they may need to hoist a couple more to keep up with Kansas. <\/p>\n Defensively, the Mountain Hawks aren\u2019t a big team, which could hurt them on the boards and in the pain, and they wouldn\u2019t be a solid bet to change these March Madness trends<\/a>, either.<\/p>\n Al-Farouq Aminu is being tipped a lottery pick in this year\u2019s NBA draft if he decides to declare, but he had 11 points and seven boards, and he lost his starting job, which he\u2019ll probably get back for this game.<\/p>\n The Jayhawks head into the dance as the No.1 overall seed after winning the Big East regular-season and tournament titles, and there may not be a deeper team in the country. Kansas can go eight or nine deep in the rotation, and they have an inside-outside duo in senior guard Sherron Collins and junior center Cole Aldrich who were around for the Jayhawks\u2019 national championship in 2008. <\/p>\n Freshman Xavier Henry has picked up his game after hitting the rookie around midseason, but the Jayhawks are the definition of a team and you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a weak spot. Sportsbook odds (sportsbook review<\/a>) have the Jayhawks as a 25.5-point favorite in this contest, and last year\u2019s No.1 seeds won by an average of 32.2 points. Usually, there is one No.16 seed that puts up a fight for about 25 minutes before the top seed pulls away.<\/p>\n This is Lehigh\u2019s first time in the dance since 2004, but they\u2019ll be aiming to draw off of history: in the 2005 Tournament, Bucknell, another Patriot League team, upset a third-seeded Kansas team. The Jayhawks have covered just three of their last games as a favorite of 20 or more points, but this Kansas team is different, and they\u2019re deeper than the 2005 group. <\/p>\n The Jayhawks can build up a big lead with the likes Collins and Aldrich, especially Aldrich in the post, and the production won\u2019t drop off much when they get the second unit in the game, because Kansas is that good. <\/p>\n They\u2019re also focused, and Bill Self won\u2019t allow them to take their foot off the gas.<\/p>\n Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite Mountain Hawks vs. Jayhawks Free Pick: <\/strong> 2010 Bracketology (Click Links Below To View Each March Madness Bracket)<\/strong><\/p>\n MIDWEST Bracket (St. Louis)<\/strong><\/a> Gamblers looking for the best online free march madness picks<\/strong><\/a> and 2010 bracket predictions?
