#869/870 ASA TOP PLAY ON Over 149.5 Points – Kansas vs TCU, Monday at 9 PM ET - These 2 met back in January with TCU rolling over Kansas 83-60. The total in that game was set at 146.5 and the game when Under yet now this total is set even higher at 149. Interesting and we agree on the move. TCU’s offense is a bit undervalued as they rank 4th in efficiency in the Big 12 but they played 5 of their last 6 games without their top offensive player, Mike Miles. With Miles on the shelf this TCU team averaged only 67 PPG and when he came back on Saturday they put up 100 points on Oklahoma State who is fantastic defensively. In fact, the Cowboys rank 10th nationally in defensive efficiency and 15th in the country in eFG% allowed. Prior to Saturday’s outburst from the Horned Frogs, Okie State was allowing just 64 PPG. With Miles in the line up this season TCU is averaging 78.5 PPG. They shredded the KU defense in the first meeting and we expect they’ll do the same at home where the are averaging 79 PPG on the season. KU is averaging 77 PPG on the road this season but shot poorly at home in the first meeting (39%). Their offense is peaking now and we expect a much better performance. The Jayhawks have scored at least 77 points in 6 of their last 7 games and they’ve faced 5 top 50 defenses (efficiency) during that stretch. Defensively they’ve allowed at least 70 points in 4 of their last 6 games. These are 2 of the faster paced teams in the country (both inside the top 75 in adjusted efficiency) and neither turns the ball over very often so we expect plenty of possessions in this game. Over is the play on Monday night.
