Kansas Jayhawks at NC State Wolfpack

GARY'S PICK

NCAABvs Kansas Jayhawks· -154

TALE OF THE TAPE NC State Wolfpack Kansas Jayhawks Record (last 5) 0-5 ↔ 0-5 Shooting (eFG%) 58.9% ← 52.4% 3P Shooting 40.0% ← 34.0% Turnovers (per game) 10.2 ← 10.9 Off Rebounds (per game) 9.8 ← 9.4 FT Attempts (per game) 22.8 ← 21.3 Key Injuries None None Gary's Take The public is going to load up on Kansas here, but NC State quietly has the cleaner profile. Both teams come in ice cold, winless in their last five, yet the Wolfpack still shoot it better from everywhere, especially from deep and in overall efficiency. The numbers don't lie – NC State owns the edge in effective field goal percentage, three-point accuracy, ball security, and extra chances on the offensive glass. Here's how I see this playing out: NC State's guards spread the floor and force Kansas to chase on the perimeter, knocking down open threes and then living at the line when the closeouts get sloppy. That combination of superior shooting, fewer turnovers, and a small advantage in free throw volume should add up over forty minutes in their own building. Only way this misses is if Kansas suddenly flips the script from beyond the arc and erases that efficiency gap. Lock this in: NC State Wolfpack ML -154.
