⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the underdog West Virginia at 68%, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement suggest sharp action on Kansas, creating value in fading the public on the spread. Mathematical edges align with following the line shift while considering WVU’s home strength, though Kansas’s defensive metrics provide a clear ML lean. Overall game scoring outlook points to a lower-output affair, with both teams’ efficiencies favoring an under based on tempo and rebounding rates.
