No analysis. Too big a mismatch. Just note the huge ratings difference between the two top scorers on Detroit, Covile and Cotton. Covile is a guy who does a bit of everything, but Cotton just scores. In fact, Covile has played well enough that his rating is bested only by KU's Darrell Arthur. There just isn't nearly enough talent around Covile to make this a game though. Don't even expect Covile to have a very good game, since KU will know he's the only major threat and focus their efforts on him.

This is a huge mismatch that could get ugly if Kansas is on its game. The two biggest advantages for KU appear to be in keeping UDM from scoring and forcing it to turn the ball over. If that doesn't spell a recipe for disaster for the Titans in Allen Fieldhouse, I don't know what does. What's more, Detroit doesn't usually shoot a lot of 3FG's and makes a pretty low percentage of them. Their only chance of keeping this game within 20 points is for KU to have a poor shooting night, since UDM has done a fair job of keeping opponents away from the offensive glass.
Sports and Numbers Prediction: Kansas wins 85-50.
