predictions for Chaminade game

Chaminade, being a Division II school, isn't listed by virtually every computer
rating system, so there is very little to go on for today's game.  Thanks to
Massey and ESPN's BPI, otherwise we'd have nothing.

At first glance, Chaminade might appear to be a more worthy opponent than either
Massey or the BPI would suggest.  The Silverswords defeated Alaska-Fairbanks in
Anchorage rather handily (26 points), and then the following day defeated
Alaska-Anchorage rather handily (29 points).  Both are Division II opponents,
however, making it difficult to assess the quality of those wins.  Perhaps a
better measure would be the exhibition game that Chaminade played against Hawaii,
which is at least a Division I opponent.  The 'Swords lost by 17.  Hawaii ranks
as #175 in Sagarin Predictor.  Dolphin suggests that Kansas would beat Hawaii by
16 points, so the rather dangerous "transitivity" approach might suggest that
Kansas would beat Chaminade by 33.  That's less than Massey's margin, and a lot
less than the BPI's margin.

The probability of Kansas winning is at least 99 percent in all cases, so one
might expect this one to be a yawner.  Still, if you're fan of college basketball,
then you almost certainly know the story of how Chaminade defeated Ralph Sampson's
#1-ranked Virginia Cavalier team way back in 1982, when the 'Swords were an NAIA
team.  More recently, Chaminade knocked off Rick Barnes and Texas in 2012.  That
was the second time Barnes had lost to Chaminade, having previously done so while
coach of Providence in 1991.  Chaminade's most recent victory in the Maui
Invitational came at the expense of California in 2017, winning by 24 points in
the contest for seventh place.  Overall, Chaminade has won eight times in the
Maui Invitational.  The point here is:  It Can Happen.

The existence of the Maui Invitational, which started in 1984, is credited to
Chaminade's win over Virginia two years earlier.  Chaminade is the only
non-Division I team to participate.  Recent changes to the format mean that
Chaminade participates in the eight-team field only every other year.  In the
off years, they'll play road games at two of the field's participants.

Here is Kansas' season; we have two unknown opponents in the Maui Invitational,
so some assumptions need to be made to compute a projected record.  If we go
with the higher rated team in each case, we'd get BYU in the semis and
Michigan State in the finals, in which case the projected record would be
23 and 8, which also assumes a win against Division II Chaminade.
