The No. 1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks will take on the No. 4 Providence Friars Midwest Region Sweet 16 action on Friday, March 25 at 5:29 p.m. EST. 

The Jayhawks are one of just two one-seeds that remain in the NCAA Tournament. Can they keep their momentum going on Friday against an underrated Friars team?

If the Kansas Jayhawks live up to the hype and beat Providence, they will move on to the Elite Eight and final round of region play. Kansas’ Elite Eight will be between the winner of No. 11 Iowa State vs. No. 10 Miami (Fla.) with the date yet to be announced.

Providence Friars vs. Kansas Jayhawks Prediction and Pick

The Jayhawks got a little rattled by the Creighton Bluejays but survived with a 79-72. The Jayhawks were led by Jalen Wilson who had a 14-point, 14-rebound double-double. While a win is a win, this one was a little tight. It was the first game that Kansas failed to cover since the beginning of March. The Friars, on the flip side, are 2-0 ATS in the tournament so far including a 28 point win over Richmond. 

While I do think that Kansas emerges from the game victorious, the win won’t be without drama. Kansas is a great team but they do struggle against solid defensive teams with a size advantage. The Friars fall into both categories and I think give Kansas a run for its money.

Lean: Providence Friars +7.5 (-110)
