NCAA: Beyond Game Limits

Here is the 411...Kansas # 4 Plays @ Wake Forest # 11 Tonight

The Demon Deacons are playing like they are possessed posting a 7-0 record ATS over their last nine games. Kansas enters the contest on a six-game winning streak, but they have not covered the spread in their last two outings. The Jayhawks have had some injuries recently, including starting guard Jeff Boschee's ankle and leading-scorer Kenny Gregory's right foot, and fielding a "full-strength" team in tonight's game could be tough for coach Roy Williams. For the season Wake Forest is a perfect 4-0 ATS. Scoring has not been a problem for the Jayhawks this season, they are hitting the silk for 92.2 points per game, and have a 2-0 record on the overs. A win against Kansas tonight could help the Demon Deacons get an invite to dance in March come voting time, but then again the Jayhawks are a No. 4 squad not a South Carolina State. When on the road Kansas is 1-1 ATS. Wake Forest is 2-0 ATS when playing on their home-court.

Money Edge Tip: Kansas is 2-3 ATS on the season.
