Bill Self's squad suffered a shocking loss on Saturday, and I expect them to bounce back with a big win on Monday night. Cincinnati is a solid team, but they simply aren't on Kansas' level. I expect a championship level defensive effort from the Jayhawks and a statement win at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday.

Kansas off a loss….going back home. This is the type of game Bill Self loves to coach. The kids are hungry to make a statement. Lay the points and definitely play Cincy under 69.5 if you can find it.

Kansas allowed West Virginia to shoot 12 of 21 from deep Saturday as the Jayhawks fell to 5-7 all-time in Morgantown. Expect much better defense from the Jayhawks on Monday; the intensity will be turned up at home, coming off a loss, and the Bearcats aren't a great offensive club. They also struggle at the free-throw line (66.9 percent, compared to Kansas' 74.2 percent). Look for Kansas to respond in a big way, just like it did following its first two losses.
