Syracuse beat Missouri and Ohio St early in the year on a neutral court in the Alaska Shootout. I'll also say that this spread shouldn't be 6.5, it should be closer to 1 or 2. Kansas is very overrated. Personally, I'm gonna play a unit or two on Syracuse moneyline as I think they'll advance.
i'll be cheering for the orangmen as well. I got 22 to 1 for them to make the final 4. A trip to south france is near if they can make it.
Roy Williams versus Jim Boeheim ?

Very familiar with Kansas, so I'll share a couple of points about the Jayhawks that seem most relevant to this game.
Syracuse's zone defense could present serious problems for Kansas. Kansas has not played well against zones, going all the way back to Syracuse ousting Kansas in the 1996 regional final in Denver.
Will Kansas try and shoot themselves out of trouble like '96, when they missed 25-29 3's? Enough about '96, Kansas still struggles with the zone. Guards Hinrich and Bochee will need to find a way to get it inside to the "trees" to open up the outside. Even if they succeed in doing this, can these two guards make the threes? Sometimes they do, sometimes they fail miserably.
Point number two, HC Roy Williams had a come to jesus meeting last Sunday like none in the recent past. He sent the team through the toughest practices, Monday thru Wednesday, of the year - including preseason workouts. It seems the Jayhawks were more mentally tough Friday due to HC Williams's Sunday thru Wednesday preparations. Will the Jayhawks rise to the occasion again today.
In closing, a couple of ramblings, thinking out loud:
Eric Cheneworthless, rightfully demoted to the bench, will remain a disappointment as he has the past two years. His time on the floor will have to be limited if Kansas is successful.
I've been very successful playing against Kansas against quality teams, away from home.
I feel the Big East is really down this year, but also feel the Big 12 is not all what it's cracked up to be.
I hope these thoughts help you all make a wise decision. I'm leaning Cuse + the pts.

I may get my ass handed to me but KN only beats mediocre teams at home. They cannot win on the road against even semi-tough apposition. They are over-rated and going against them has been one of the reasons my bankroll has lasted the season. SYR straight up.
