Kansas opened its season with a dominant 87-57 win over Howard, showcasing a strong performance from key players. Graduate transfer guard Zeke Mayo led the Jayhawks with 19 points, while preseason All-American center Hunter Dickinson added 16 points and six rebounds, marking a solid return after a preseason injury. Freshman Flory Bidunga also made an impact, scoring 13 points and grabbing a game-high eight rebounds. Kansas looked sharp in their opener, but we think this will be a slower paced game. This is obviously a big rivalry, and we think both teams kind of feel each other out and it starts slow, and we will roll with the under here.
