🧪 SAL's Synthesis

The game script indicates that the matchup between Houston and Kansas is likely to involve strong defensive efforts from both sides, which would suppress the scoring opportunities for individual players like Flory Bidunga. Additionally, the Kansas Jayhawks' struggles with offensive execution and Houston's formidable defense (ranking #5 nationally) further substantiate the case for Bidunga's under performance. The Net EV of 0.06 suggests a slight edge, but it's not compelling enough in light of the stronger evidence supporting the likelihood of a low-scoring environment for this player.
