🧪 SAL's Synthesis
While there is a slight positive Net EV of 0.02, the overall narrative leans unfavorable due to Kansas's recent inconsistencies and their struggle in tougher away environments. The Arizona Wildcats' momentum and superior home record strongly suggest they are likely to control the game, making it challenging for Kansas to outperform expectations despite their potential to compete. Therefore, while the bet may not be overpriced, it doesn't hold enough conviction to be worthwhile given the compelling opposing evidence.
