Iowa State vs. Kansas

Kansas is likely to lose the #1 seed come tourney time as Joel Embiid went down with a back injury. They were taken to the limit in their opener by Oklahoma State as they need overtime to get a physically and emotionally challenged win. I'm not sure what is left in the tank for the Jayhawks, especially being a player short and coming back on no rest. Iowa State lost both regular season games to Kansas, but Joel Embiid was a huge part of that, scoring 30 points, pulling down 20 rebounds and blocking 6 shots, and altering several others. Iowa State has the revenge motive, has been 5-0 on a neutral court, and get a different outcome by not having to deal with the big guy in the middle. Play iowa State straight-up.
