Memphis won't be favored over Kansas if this ass-whooping continues. Beating UNC, who many (foolishly) thought was invincible, will be enough for KU to open as small chalk.

Kansas -1.5.

Memphis is more talented, and at this stage thats all you can go on. I doubt anyone could come up with stats that say Kansas is better, though I guess it is possible someone could.

This is the national championship game of two 1 seeds that BEAT two one seeds. East coast/NC bias will make Kansas a fave, even though Memphis is much faster/quicker with the same play style.

Memphis has 3 players which would start in the NBA Rose, Douglas-Roberts (these two will be in the NBA next year) and possibly Dorsey though is offense his unbelievably bad, they are stacked as far as talent goes and will have to be slightly favored against Kansas barring a miracle comeback by UNC.

Why not Pick--no such thing as -1/2 for a full game hoops line?

I have Kansas -2 over Memphis--assuming the Jayhawks can hold off NC.

KU came out -1 at pinny, looks like memphis is getting hammered already as the juice is -101 now.

Theres a reason me and RJT are usually on the right side, just in different ways from different capping. Good call RJT

Kansas is bigger. Dorsey (6'9") is Memphis' only legit big. KU can throw out Arthur, Kaun and Aldrich.
