Home court gives Kansas the boost and wins this match

[JJVb]

Penn St did not look great today. I'm giving the edge to Kansas.

[hornshouse23]

I’ve been a Penn state apologist in the recent past. And they did my bidding against Wisconsin. But I have to give candles to my Big 12 sisters in Christ. Jayhawks, you know what to do.

What are the Vegas odds on this match?

How dare you. Maybe you should use those candles for the SMU match instead.

There are no Vegas odds, but Massey gives Kansas a 54% win probability.

Rock chalk as they say. Kansas looked good for the most part against Omaha. Penn State had some serious lapses in play against Yale. For these reasons Jayhawks in 4 close sets.

Kansas also didn't look good on Thursday.

But I take an alternative view on this one.  When playing two nights in a row, often times the same player isn't hot for both nights (so it seems to me) and a team's level of play can become drastically different on the 2nd night.

Pablo gives Kansas a 52% chance of winning.  Pablo has Penn State as the 10th best team in the country and Kansas at #16.  This is the best round of 32 matchup in the tournament.

This. Because PSU has been up and down this season. Last five have looked especially good. We know the capacity is there! Camryn Hannah will get back on her game tonight; and Mruzik will do her thing, as will Trammel, Holland, Grimes, and others. Really pulling hard for Zoe to have a B1G night. Penn State in five. Let’s go, State! Survive and advance!

Kansas didn't look much better. This match is definitely a toss-up

I hope you're right! Weird seeing Hannah on the bench last night... would love to see PSU play to their potential and win this one!
