Two top defenses battling it out on Saturday.  Kansas has Pomeroy's #9
ranked defense, while Cincinnati has Pomeroy's #11 ranked defense.  Don't
expect a high scoring game.  Kansas does have a considerably better offense
and has the home court advantage, so everybody is picking Kansas to win the
game.  The most pessimistic margin is just 6 points, based on the common
opponent comparison, while Dunkel is the optimist with a 17 point margin.
The average is 11.1 points, with a scatter of 2.6 points.

Cincinnati has already played six "better than you are" games and four
"worse than you are" games.  They should expect one more of the latter,
but it's less likely they'd have any more of the former.  They're most
likely to play "who you are" games.

It's an early tip, so I'm going to wrap this up and get some sleep before
the game.

Rock Chalk!
