Kansas Jayhawks' Margin of Victory Decreases as Hoosiers of Indiana Aim to Make a Statement

Kansas Jayhawks have recorded a series of wins, though falling short of covering points since several of their wins have not exceeded double-digit margins. Meanwhile, Hoosiers of Indiana show potential as they have earned four out of five victories over teams such as Maryland and Michigan. Their two losses are attributed to UConn and Auburn, top-ranked opponents. Scoring prowess has enabled the Hoosiers to remain competitive as they have an average of 109.4 points per 100 possessions while Jayhawks average 114.2 points in those same conditions. On top of that, Kansas has only scored an average of 74 points out of their five last games and now face their first away game at the intimidating Assembly Hall.
