predictions for Omaha game

The Mavericks are the weakest opponent on the Kansas schedule.  After four
double-digit more-than-expectation performances, Kansas has had three
double-digit less-than-expectation performances, leading to a whopping
16.7 point inconsistency, way above the national average of 11 points.
Even with that, the probability of winning today's game is nearly 99 percent.
Maybe we'll see a little bit more of Cunliffe, along with Young and Teahan.

Among the eight offensive stats, Kansas has the advantage in all except
free throw attempts per field goal attempt.  Among the seven defensive stats,
Kansas has the advantage in all.

Players to Watch
================
Most minutes          Mitchell Hahn             forward
Leading scorer        Zach Jackson              guard
Leading rebounder     Mitchell Hahn             forward

Mitchell Hahn has a right shoulder separation and is not expected to play.
