Bill Self’s team earned an impressive win over Tennessee in the Players Era Festival, which helped them climb back to No. 21 in the rankings.
Kansas struggled to start January, losing on the road to UCF and West Virginiaand falling out of the Top 25 again.

Kansas vs Arizona Parlay Picks
Leg 1: Under 153.5
I expect this to be one of the best games of the season and for it to come down to the final few possessions.
My favorite play in this contest is the Under, as I believe the game's pace will be the difference.
I expect Kansas to set the pace early in this matchup. The Jayhawks rank 244th nationally in adjusted tempo, which means possessions could be at a premium.
Additionally, both of these teams rank in the top 30 nationally in points allowed per game.
Leg 2: Flory Bidunga Under 13.5 Points
The sophomore has been outstanding for Kansas this season, leading the team with 8.9 rebounds per game while adding 14.8 points.
However, Bidunga will draw a tough matchup against Arizona. The Wildcats have the size and speed to slow him down and make life difficult in the paint.
