The Hoyas rank fifth in the Big East Conference in scoring 76.6 points a contest, while they sit behind six teams in allowing 64.6 points per game.\u00a0 Georgetown has compiled a 30-28 SU all-time record against Big 12 Conference foes, including a 1-1 mark versus Kansas.\u00a0 The program won six of eight games versus ranked teams a season ago, which is hard to ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.<\/p>\n

Kansas hasn\u2019t played at Allen Fieldhouse in a span of 29 days, which is the longest such stretch in the Bill Self era.\u00a0 The Jayhawks are outscoring foes by an average of 9.5 points a game, while winning the rebounding battle in nine of 10 contests.\u00a0 True freshman guard Andrew Wiggins is the key player to watch in this matchup, as he\u2019s averaging a team-high 15.9 points per game, while sophomore forward Perry Ellis is next in line at 14.1.\u00a0 Kansas is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games versus Big East foes.<\/p>\n

The Jayhawks have held every opponent under 50 percent shooting this season, while they\u2019ve made 39.4 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc on the offensive end.\u00a0 Kansas\u2019 bench has outscored its opponents\u2019 reserves in eight of 10 games and is averaging 26.6 points per game as a unit.\u00a0 The program is 164-8 SU under Bill Self at this venue, including wins in its last 66 games versus non-conference opponents.<\/p>\n
