Missouri vs. Kansas Predictions
We know Kansas is a strong team, and the Jayhawks have claimed victories over No. 15 Duke, NC State, and Wisconsin this season. Kansas’ lone loss came in a 50-64 neutral site loss to Tennessee.
On the other hand, we aren’t sure how good Missouri can be this season. Sure, the Tigers are 9-0, but they haven’t played high-end competition. Wichita State is ranked No. 87 in the KenPom Rankings, and it’s the highest-ranked squad Missouri has faced. The Tigers won that game 88-84.
However, we can’t ignore the intangibles of this game. Missouri will be hyped up for this rivalry in front of its home crowd. This is Kansas’ first road game of the season, and it won’t lack intensity. Look for the Tigers to put everything they have into this game, and Missouri certainly has the advantage in motivation here.
