What you need to know about Kansas
Kansas made easy work of the St. John's Red Storm this past Friday, rattling off a 95-75 victory. It was another big night for Kansas' guard Christian Braun, who had 31 points along with eight rebounds.
The Jayhawks are the vastly superior team in this matchup. Ochai Agbaji paces the Kansas offense with 22.6 points per game. The senior guard is primed to make a run at earning All-American honors in 2021-22, and will be a serious matchup problem for UTEP. Kansas should be able to cruise to victory in this matchup, and could find themselves in a situation where head coach Bill Self gets to clear his bench and get his reserves some time on the floor.
What you need to know about UTEP
Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for UTEP as they fell 72-69 to the New Mexico St. Aggies this past Friday.
The Miners' offense runs through Junior guard Jamal Bieniemy, who is averaging 16 points, three assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game in the early season. UTEP is a strong defensive team that could give Kansas fits. Two stats to keep an eye on: Kansas ranks 26th in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 10.4 on average. But the Miners come into the contest boasting the 20th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 18.1. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
