Kansas has roster constructions problems. I didn't like them being ranked #1 in the first place, and this game didn't set me at ease. Their only volume 3pt shooter is a midmajor uptransfer that seemingly is coming off the bench (Timberlake). McCullar, Harris, and Dickinson can shoot, but none of them have much gravity (they're shoot when wide open types). They have essentially no bench outside Timberlake. Their main other bench guy (freshman Furphy from Australia) has shin splints, which can be a real devil to deal with.

Their only hope is just to be elite on defense, but Dickinson is not really that defensive anchor type. He'll block a few shots, but his teams's defenses have been quite mediocre the last 2 years (and his personal on/off defensive splits have been regressing as well). They'll probably be better defensively with KJ Adams at the 5, but they don't even really have the bodies on the bench at the 4 to move him.

If they have any injuries they're screwed.
