After a dismantling of Chaminade, Kansas takes on a BYU team who had its own impressive start to the Mauli I mean Maui Invitational, defeating UCLA by 15. It’s been an up and down start for the Cougars this year, as they’ve paired impressive wins over UCLA and at Houston with a puzzling loss at Boise State and a narrow home win over Southern Utah.
Even though BYU is ranked outside the top 50 in KenPom, they do some things that should frustrate the Jayhawks. First, as you’d expect, they have a lot of experience. BYU starts three seniors and a junior, and are ranked 15th in KenPom’s experience statistic.
