Texas Tech vs Villanova 3/25/18 - Elite 8 Picks & PredictionsPosted on 27 March 2018 by David

Latest Odds : VILL -6.5 Total 144.5


The 3rd seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders will face the top-seeded Villanova Wildcats in the NCAA Tournament East Region final on Sunday with the winner moving on to the Final Four. Texas Tech defeated the 2nd seeded Purdue Boilermakers 78-65 on Friday to reach the Elite 8. An 11-0 run by the Red Raiders during the second half broke open a close game. Keenan Evans led the Red Raiders with 16 points, with 12 coming during the decisive second half.

Villanova punched its ticket to the Elite 8 with a 90-78 victory over 5th seeded West Virginia. The Wildcats rained down 3-pointers on the Mountaineers hitting 13 of 24 from long range. Jalen Brunson led the Wildcats with 27 points while Omari Spellman added 18 points and eight boards. The Wildcats have made 44 baskets from beyond the arc during the tournament. However, Villanova must take better care of the ball as the Wildcats turned the ball over 16 times.


Keenan Evans leads Texas Tech in scoring and assists averaging 17.8 points and 3.2 assists per game. Zhaire Smith is the third leading scoring and leading rebounder averaging 11.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. As a team, Texas Tech is shooting 46.3% from the field and 36.4% from 3-point territory. Texas Tech scores an average of 74.9 points per game, while allowing an average of 64.6.

Jalen Brunson leads Villanova in scoring and assists averaging 19.1 points and 4.7 assists per game. Five other players for Villanova are averaging double figures in scoring, while Omari Spellman is the team leader in rebounds averaging 7.9 per game. As a team, Villanova is shooting 50.3% from the field and 40.2% from 3-point territory. During the regular season, the Wildcats scored an average of 86.9 points per game, which is No. 1 in the nation, while allowing an average of 70.3.

Recent Betting Trends:
Texas Tech is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games versus Big East opponents
The OVER has cashed in 7 of the last 9 Red Raiders games
Villanova is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games played
The OVER has cashed in 21 of the last 29 Wildcats games


Free Betting Pick: Villanova Wildcats -6.5 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NCAAB/)
Texas Tech has covered just 2 of its last 10 games played. Villanova has covered 6 of its last 7, and 9 of its last 11 in NCAA Tournament action. The WVU team was much tougher team to prepare for and think Villanova will have no problem against less talented Texas Tech. Final Score Prediction, Villanova Wildcats win and cover ATS 77-66.

Duke vs Kansas 3/25/18 - Elite 8 Picks & PredictionsPosted on 26 March 2018 by David

Latest Odds : Duke -3.5 Total 155.5
The 2nd seeded Duke Blue Devils will play the top seeded Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament Midwest Region Final with the winner moving on to Final Four. Duke defeated 11th seeded Syracuse Friday night 69-65 to reach the Elite 8. Gary Trent Jr. and Grayson Allen sank four free throws late in the game to help the Blue Devils hold of a stubborn Orange squad. Freshman sensation Marvin Bagley III led Duke with 22 points.

Kansas punched its ticket to the Elite 8 with an 80-76 win over 5th seeded Clemson. Malik Newman led Kansas with 17 points. The Jayhawks led by 13 points at the half and at one time by as many as 20 but squandered much of that lead. However, Clemson could not get any closer to six points and Kansas moved on to the regional final.


Marvin Bagley III leads the Blue Devils in scoring and rebounding averaging 21.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. Grayson Allen is the second leading scorer for Duke averaging 15.6 points per game. The Trevon Duval leads the team in assists with an average of 5.6 per game. As a team, Duke is shooting 49.4% from the floor and 37.7% from 3-point territory. Duke scores an average of 84.9 points per game, which is sixth in the nation, while allowing an average of 69.3.

Devonte’ Graham is the leading scoring for the Jayhawks averaging 17.3 points per game. Graham leads Kansas in assists as well, with an average of 7.4 per game. Four other players average double figures in scoring. Udoka Azubuike leads the team in rebounding with an average of 7.0 per game. As a team, Kansas is shooting 49.5% from the field and 40.5% from 3-point territory. Kansas scores an average of 81.4 points per game, while allowing an average of 70.9

Recent Betting Trends:
Duke is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games played
The OVER has cashed in 12 of the last 14 non-conference games the Blue Devils have played
Kansas is 8-2-1 ATS in its last 11 games against an opponent with a .600 or higher winning record
The OVER has covered in 4 of the last 6 Jayhawks games


Free Betting Pick: Kansas Jayhawks +3.5 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NCAAB/)
Duke has covered just 1 of its last 5 games against Kansas. Kansas has covered 5 of its last 7 against ACC opponents. The young Blue Devils against the veteran Kansas team - think you have to grab the points with the underdog Jayhawks in very close game. Final Score Prediction, Kansas Jayhawks win outright as underdog but grab the points just in case 79-77.

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Villanova Wildcats Preview and Predictions 03-25-2018

24th March 2018 by Gracenote
Villanova appears determined to shoot its way to the Final Four, while Texas Tech is employing an alternative strategy. The top-seeded Wildcats can secure their second Final Four berth in three seasons Sunday when they take on the third-seeded Red Raiders in the East Regional final in Boston.

The Wildcats shot 13-of-24 from 3-point range in Friday's 12-point win over West Virginia, improving the team to 47.8 percent from the arc in their three tournament wins. "The deeper you go, the better the teams are going to be," star guard Jalen Brunson said. "For us, most importantly, nothing changes no matter who we play, where we play, what time we play. We play every game like it's our last." While the Wildcats have made 44 3-pointers through three tournament games, the Red Raiders only have made 15 and are shooting just 31.3 percent from long range in this event, but will that percentage rate be enough against Villanova? "They've been the No. 1 team the whole season and are great all-around," Texas Tech guard Keenan Evans said after Friday's 78-65 win over Purdue in the Sweet 16. "They have a great point guard and great bigs that can shoot the ball, so we will just have to get back in the film room and study up on them and get some rest."

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, CBS

ABOUT TEXAS TECH (27-9): The Red Raiders rode a combined 45 points from Evans to first- and second-round wins, but the senior guard was limited to three field goals against Purdue, although he still scored 16 points to lead the team. Zach Smith added 14 points off the bench and is shooting 15-of-19 over the last four games, while freshman Zhaire Smith has registered double-digit points in all three Big Dance contests. Texas Tech, which is playing in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history, would love another big effort out of Justin Gray, who pitched in 12 points against Purdue, matching his second-highest total of the season.

ABOUT VILLANOVA (33-4): Brunson led the Wildcats with 27 points versus West Virginia, while freshman Omari Spellman registered 18 points and eight rebounds, not to mention three assists, three blocks and two steals. Brunson has made at least half his shots in six of the last seven games, while Mikal Bridges has done so in 11 of his last 12 games, and Bridges also carries a seven-game streak of draining at least 50 percent of his 3-pointers. Phil Booth, one of the stars from Villanova's national championship game victory two years ago, is just 2-of-11 from the field over the last two games and 5-of-20 over the last four contests.

TIP-INS

1. Villanova needs 10 3-pointers to tie the all-time Division I record for 3-pointers in a season. (VMI had 442 in 2006-07.)

2. Jarrett Culver leads Texas Tech with 54 3-pointers. By comparison, Booth has 52 3-pointers for Villanova and he is fifth on the Wildcats in made 3s.

3. The winner of this game will face the Midwest champion - either No. 1 seed Kansas or No. 2 seed Duke - in next week's Final Four.

PREDICTION: Villanova 82, Texas Tech 77

Duke Blue Devils vs. Kansas Jayhawks Preview and Predictions 03-25-2018

24th March 2018 by Gracenote
A wild NCAA Tournament gets back to normalcy on Sunday when two of college basketball's true blue bloods, Duke and Kansas, meet in the Midwest Regional final in Omaha, Neb. The No. 2 seeded Blue Devils and top-seeded Jayhawks have combined to win eight NCAA titles, including three of the last 10, and are two of the top four winningest programs in NCAA history.

After extending its record Big 12 regular-season title streak to 14, Kansas has advanced to the Elite Eight for the third straight year, jumping out to a 20-point lead early in the second half before holding off Clemson, 80-76, on Friday night. "I wanted to get back to this game so bad because I've been here the last two years, and hopefully we can get over the hump," said Big 12 Player of the Year Devonte' Graham referring to losses to eventual NCAA champion Villanova in 2016 (64-59) and Oregon (74-60 last year that denied the Jayhawks a 15th Final Four berth.) Duke will be trying to advance to the Final Four for the 17th time after grinding out a 69-65 victory over Syracuse and is back in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2015 when the Blue Devils went on to win their fifth NCAA championship. "I thought we were young for a lot of today," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the Blue Devils shot just 39.3 percent, including 5-of-26 from 3-point range, and were outrebounded, 37-33, by the Orange. "We were so good in Pittsburgh (in the first two rounds), and hopefully what we did under pressure today will help us on Sunday against a great Kansas team."

TV: 5:05 p.m. ET, CBS

ABOUT DUKE (29-7): The Blue Devils are young, starting four freshmen, but don't feel too sorry for old Krzyzewski, who picked up his 1,100th career coaching victory and 94th career tournament win against Syracuse, both NCAA records. Two of the freshmen, 6-11 forward Marvin Bagley III (21.2 ppg, 11.1 rpg), who garnered ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors, and 6-10 Wendell Carter Jr. (13.6 ppg, 9.3 rpg) are both both projected as top 10 draft picks, while guards Gary Trent Jr. (14.4 ppg) and Trevon Duval (10.0 ppg, 5.6 apg) are also considered potential first rounders. Senior guard Grayson Allen had 15 points and eight assists to lead Duke in Friday night's win but was just 3-of-14 from 3-point range and is also rated as a potential first round pick.

ABOUT KANSAS (30-7): The Jayhawks have made it this far despite the loss of five-star recruit Billy Preston to eligibility issues and 7-foot center Udoka Azubuike playing with a left knee brace to help support a MCL injury suffered in a March 6 practice that forced him to sit out the Big 12 Tournament and play just three minutes in a 76-60 opening-round win over Pennsylvania. The explosive Azubuike has averaged 12 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in the last two games while connecting on 11-of-14 shots despite limping noticeably at times, and his presence inside will be a key factor in trying to defend the imposing Duke front line of Bagley and Carter. The Jayhawks have the edge in the backcourt, however, led by Graham (17.3 ppg, 7.4 apg), senior Svi Mykhailiuk (14.8 ppg), sophomore Malik Newman (13.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg) and junior Lagerald Vick (12.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg), all excellent 3-point shooters who will test Duke's 2-3 zone.

TIP-INS

1. Newman, a transfer from Mississippi State regarded by some scouting services as the No. 1 shooting guard prospect in the nation as a prep senior, has scored 20 or more points in four of the last six games and is 23-of-39 (59 percent) behind the arc during that span.

2. Kansas (2,247) is second in all-time Division I victories while Duke is fourth (2,144).

3. Duke leads the series with Kansas, 7-4, but the Jayhawks have won three of the last four meetings. The Blue Devils defeated the Jayhawks, 72-65, in Indianapolis in 1991 to claim their first national championship.

PREDICTION: Kansas 73, Duke 69

#2 MS ADVISOR (ML=8/1)
#1 SHOW'EM THE HEAT (ML=4/1)
#7 HARAMBE (ML=8/1)


MS ADVISOR - I think Arndt is making a good move here. This filly can only benefit from the shorter distance. Was in a $5,000 Claiming race at Delta Downs last time out. That race had a class rating of 81 and she is moving down in this race. A certain strong challenger. SHOW'EM THE HEAT - I think this filly is ready to run a good one. She's had enough races since the layoff and should be fit. A pony coming back this soon after a sharp contest is a good signal. Horse has improved at least two speed rating points in last two races. I look for that to continue in this field. HARAMBE - This filly should give a strong account of herself in today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 VERY ELEGANT (ML=9/5), #6 CAN SHE SCOOT (ML=7/2), #8 PERFECT GIANT (ML=6/1),

VERY ELEGANT - Can't wager on this vulnerable equine in today's sprint of 6 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance event recently. When any horse improves so much on a track listed as good, I have to be a little shy about her next out. CAN SHE SCOOT - When scrutinizing today's Equibase class figure, she will have to register a much better speed fig than last time out to compete in this dirt sprint. PERFECT GIANT - Unlikely that the speed figure she registered on March 3rd will be enough in this race.

#6 SO HERES THE THING (ML=4/1)
#5 COWGIRLS PRAY (ML=15/1)


SO HERES THE THING - Taking this jockey/conditioner combination is a good choice. Have to make this filly a win candidate; she comes off a strong effort on Mar 9th. COWGIRLS PRAY - Searching through the past performances for this race, I noted right away this equine's last effort was more than meets the eye. Showed good speed, fell back, and then ran evenly. Personally, I wouldn't worry about where she finished in her last race (sixth). Should improve right here in this race, with some respectable odds.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 BOLT UP (ML=1/1), #3 TIZFIT (ML=5/2), #4 COPY BEGONE (ML=6/1),

BOLT UP - This steed hasn't been on the track since February 24th. Not even any morning activity. TIZFIT - Doesn't look to be in a convenient circumstance this time. COPY BEGONE - Finished fifth last time out of the box. Would have to get better to be on the board in today's event.

I think COLLEGE HOLLY is a decent choice. Could provide positive dividends based on solid recent Speed Figures with an average of 78. With a solid 79 speed figure last time out, will surely be a factor in this contest. Is tough not to consider given the company run in lately. PRINCESS KNOLL - Looks very strong against this field and will probably be one of the early speedsters. Is worth serious consideration and may be a bet - strong Equibase Speed Figures (77 average) at today's distance and surface recently. LOVING VALENTINA - Looks decent to be up near the front end at the first call. Ran a solid last race.

Juarez has recent ROI numbers which make this entrant a very good bet. CONCORD FAST - Earned a sound Equibase Speed Fig in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. Has posted reliable Equibase Speed Figures in dirt sprint races in the past. BLAMEITONTHELAW - He has very good class ratings, averaging 110, and has to be given a chance for this event.

NCAA Tournament Elite Eight betting preview and odds: Texas Tech vs. Villanova


The East Region wraps up Sunday afternoon with top seeded Villanova taking on Texas Tech. Villanova looks to advance to their second Final Four in three seasons, while Texas Tech is in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history.

(3) Texas Tech Red Raiders vs (1) Villanova Wildcats (-6.5, 144.5)


Villanova appears determined to shoot its way to the Final Four, while Texas Tech is employing an alternative strategy. The top-seeded Wildcats can secure their second Final Four berth in three seasons Sunday when they take on the third-seeded Red Raiders in the East Regional final in Boston.

The Wildcats shot 13-of-24 from 3-point range in Friday's 12-point win over West Virginia, improving the team to 47.8 percent from the arc in their three tournament wins. "The deeper you go, the better the teams are going to be," star guard Jalen Brunson said. "For us, most importantly, nothing changes no matter who we play, where we play, what time we play. We play every game like it's our last." While the Wildcats have made 44 3-pointers through three tournament games, the Red Raiders only have made 15 and are shooting just 31.3 percent from long range in this event, but will that percentage rate be enough against Villanova? "They've been the No. 1 team the whole season and are great all-around," Texas Tech guard Keenan Evans said after Friday's 78-65 win over Purdue in the Sweet 16. "They have a great point guard and great bigs that can shoot the ball, so we will just have to get back in the film room and study up on them and get some rest."

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Villanova opened as 6.5-point favorites and heading into game day the line remained at the opening number. The total hit betting boards at 143 and was quickly up to 144.5.

BETTING STATS:

http://i63.tinypic.com/afhpv5.jpg


ABOUT TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders rode a combined 45 points from Evans to first- and second-round wins, but the senior guard was limited to three field goals against Purdue, although he still scored 16 points to lead the team. Zach Smith added 14 points off the bench and is shooting 15-of-19 over the last four games, while freshman Zhaire Smith has registered double-digit points in all three Big Dance contests. Texas Tech, which is playing in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history, would love another big effort out of Justin Gray, who pitched in 12 points against Purdue, matching his second-highest total of the season.

ABOUT VILLANOVA: Brunson led the Wildcats with 27 points versus West Virginia, while freshman Omari Spellman registered 18 points and eight rebounds, not to mention three assists, three blocks and two steals. Brunson has made at least half his shots in six of the last seven games, while Mikal Bridges has done so in 11 of his last 12 games, and Bridges also carries a seven-game streak of draining at least 50 percent of his 3-pointers. Phil Booth, one of the stars from Villanova's national championship game victory two years ago, is just 2-of-11 from the field over the last two games and 5-of-20 over the last four contests.

MATCHUP CHART:

http://i68.tinypic.com/2wqspcz.jpg


TRENDS:

* Texas Tech 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big East.
* Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games.
* Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Over is 12-3 in Wildcats last 15 games following a straight up win.

NCAA Tournament Elite Eight betting preview and odds: Duke vs. Kansas


The Midwest Region wraps up Sunday to decide the last member of the 2018 Final Four. No surprises here as two of college basketball's biggest brands and the regions top seeded teams do battle.

(2) Duke Blue Devils vs (1) Kansas Jayhawks (+3, 154.5)


A wild NCAA Tournament gets back to normalcy on Sunday when two of college basketball's true blue bloods, Duke and Kansas, meet in the Midwest Regional final in Omaha, Neb. The No. 2 seeded Blue Devils and top-seeded Jayhawks have combined to win eight NCAA titles, including three of the last 10, and are two of the top four winningest programs in NCAA history.

After extending its record Big 12 regular-season title streak to 14, Kansas has advanced to the Elite Eight for the third straight year, jumping out to a 20-point lead early in the second half before holding off Clemson, 80-76, on Friday night. "I wanted to get back to this game so bad because I've been here the last two years, and hopefully we can get over the hump," said Big 12 Player of the Year Devonte' Graham referring to losses to eventual NCAA champion Villanova in 2016 (64-59) and Oregon (74-60 last year that denied the Jayhawks a 15th Final Four berth.) Duke will be trying to advance to the Final Four for the 17th time after grinding out a 69-65 victory over Syracuse and is back in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2015 when the Blue Devils went on to win their fifth NCAA championship. "I thought we were young for a lot of today," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the Blue Devils shot just 39.3 percent, including 5-of-26 from 3-point range, and were outrebounded, 37-33, by the Orange. "We were so good in Pittsburgh (in the first two rounds), and hopefully what we did under pressure today will help us on Sunday against a great Kansas team."

TV: 5:05 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Duke opened as 4-point favorites and money coming in on the Jayhawks saw that line drop to Blue Devils -3 heading into game day. The total hit the board at 155.5 and has been bet down slightly to 154.5.

BETTING STATS:

http://i63.tinypic.com/etchow.jpg


ABOUT DUKE: The Blue Devils are young, starting four freshmen, but don't feel too sorry for old Krzyzewski, who picked up his 1,100th career coaching victory and 94th career tournament win against Syracuse, both NCAA records. Two of the freshmen, 6-11 forward Marvin Bagley III (21.2 ppg, 11.1 rpg), who garnered ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors, and 6-10 Wendell Carter Jr. (13.6 ppg, 9.3 rpg) are both both projected as top 10 draft picks, while guards Gary Trent Jr. (14.4 ppg) and Trevon Duval (10.0 ppg, 5.6 apg) are also considered potential first rounders. Senior guard Grayson Allen had 15 points and eight assists to lead Duke in Friday night's win but was just 3-of-14 from 3-point range and is also rated as a potential first round pick.

ABOUT KANSAS: The Jayhawks have made it this far despite the loss of five-star recruit Billy Preston to eligibility issues and 7-foot center Udoka Azubuike playing with a left knee brace to help support a MCL injury suffered in a March 6 practice that forced him to sit out the Big 12 Tournament and play just three minutes in a 76-60 opening-round win over Pennsylvania. The explosive Azubuike has averaged 12 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in the last two games while connecting on 11-of-14 shots despite limping noticeably at times, and his presence inside will be a key factor in trying to defend the imposing Duke front line of Bagley and Carter. The Jayhawks have the edge in the backcourt, however, led by Graham (17.3 ppg, 7.4 apg), senior Svi Mykhailiuk (14.8 ppg), sophomore Malik Newman (13.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg) and junior Lagerald Vick (12.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg), all excellent 3-point shooters who will test Duke's 2-3 zone.

MATCHUP CHART:

http://i66.tinypic.com/33ollab.jpg


TRENDS:

* Jayhawks are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Over is 12-2 in Blue Devils last 14 non-conference games.
* Over is 6-1 in Jayhawks last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

CONSENSUS: Consensus data is showing 54 percent of bettors taking the underdog from Kansas Jayhawks, while 60 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

NCAA Tournament's biggest betting mismatches: Elite Eight

Monty Andrews

What could be the difference in the Midwest final between Kansas and Duke? Free Throws. Teams average just 10.3 made foul shots on 14.2 attempts against the Blue Devils - both top-10 in the nation.

East Region

No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. No. 1 Villanova Wildcats (-6.5, 144.5)

Texas Tech's weak outside game vs. Villanova's insane 3-point attack


Texas Tech is in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history - but getting one round further will be a daunting task as the third-seeded Red Raiders face the No. 1 Villanova Wildcats in the East Region final Sunday night at TD Garden in Boston. The Red Raiders earned their first-ever trip to the fourth round of the NCAA Tournament despite struggling from beyond the arc in a 78-65 win over Purdue on Friday - and a similar performance from 3-point range Sunday will almost certainly mean defeat.

It isn't that Texas Tech is a poor shooting team from long distance; the Red Raiders rank just outside the top 100 nationally in 3-point success rate at 36.2 percent. But the Red Raiders just don't take that many 3s - their 18.9 attempts per game ranks just inside the top 300 in Division I, while their 6.9 makes per contest are good for 247th overall. And those numbers are actually lower so far in the tournament, with Texas Tech averaging just five made 3-pointers on 16 attempts through its first three games.

The Red Raiders will have a difficult time keeping pace with the ever-dangerous Wildcats if that shooting trend continues. Villanova enters the weekend ranked 10th in the nation in 3-point success rate at 40.5 percent - and loves to launch those long-range shots, having taken the third-most shots from distance of any team in the country (1,067). And the Wildcats are heating up from 3, hitting 13-of-24 attempts last time out against West Virginia. Look for Villanova to exploit this mismatch all night long.

Midwest Region

No. 2 Duke Blue Devils vs. No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks (+3.5, 155.5)

Duke's aversion to fouls vs. Kansas's infrequent visits to the line


The Midwest Region boasts the only 1-vs.-2 Elite Eight matchup - and oddsmakers are leaning toward the lower seed as the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils tangle with the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks. It's hard to argue with the odds, given that the Blue Devils were so dominant through the opening two rounds before holding on to beat a plucky Syracuse team Friday. And they have a significant edge over the Jayhawks when it comes to limiting trips to the free-throw line - an advantage that could decide this one.

The Blue Devils are a dangerous team, evidenced by the fact that they beat Iona and Rhode Island by a combined 47 points over the opening weekend of March Madness. But they showed what makes them a true title threat in their 69-65 win over the Orange, a game in which they were outshot by nearly 10 percent from the field but held Syracuse to 11 free-throw makes on 17 attempts (Duke went 20-for-28 from the line.) Teams average just 10.3 made foul shots on 14.2 attempts - both top-10 in the nation.

The last two victories didn't come easy for the Jayhawks, who roll into the Elite Eight following four-point wins over No. 8 Seton Hall and No. 5 Clemson. And they prevailed despite shooting below 70 percent from the free-throw line in both. While Kansas hasn't had much trouble getting to the line in the tournament, it averages just 11.5 makes on 16.3 attempts to date - both ranking outside the top 300 nationally. And with Duke so stingy when it comes to allowing free throws, the Jayhawks have some work to do.
