Northern Iowa at Kansas

This game reminds me off the 2007 Tournament game between Kansas and Southern Illinois. The Salukis were a very good and experienced defensive team that controlled the clock and used their experience to give the Jayhawks a big scare, before bowing 61-58. It was a defensive clinic, and this Panthers team mirrors that Southern Illinois team in many ways. I wouldn't be surprised to see it play out in similar fashion. Northern Iowa has played 11 straight to the UNDER in neutral-site games, and is also 37-15-1 as a dog playing to the UNDER. Kansas can be explosive, but the tourney is a different animal, and they are 10-2 to the UNDER in their last 12 games in the big dance. The UNDER gets the call here.
