Betting on the Kansas Jayhawks
- Regular Season Record: 19-5
With Gradey Dick shooting the lights out, Kansas scored an 88-80 win at home in Lawrence on Monday against the Texas Longhorns. Dick blasted the Longhorns for 21 points on 7/11 shooting from the field. Kansas beat a very good Texas team despite a cold shooting night by Jalen Wilson who scored just two points on 1/7 shooting. That Kansas managed to score nearly 90 points despite Wilson (20.7 PPG) failing to show up speaks a lot about how dangerous and deep Kansas is.
On the season, the Jayhawks are 25th in Division I basketball with 115.6 points per 100 possessions adjusted. Even better is its defense which is 17th with 93.6 points allowed per 100 possessions adjusted. Kansas is 3-1 ATS in its last four games overall.
Betting on the Oklahoma Sooners
- Regular Season Record: 12-12
The Sooners have an axe to grind against Kansas, which beat them last month, 79-75, in Lawrence. If anything, that was some sort of a win for Oklahoma’s morale, as the Sooners certainly made it difficult for Kansas to eke out a victory. Grant Sherfield smoked Kansas’ defense in that game for 25 points, as he went 9/14 from the floor and 6/6 from the foul line. Oklahoma loves to play slowly, which is also why the Sooners are a sub-300 team in terms of adjusted tempo, and that could work against Kansas to limit the Jayhawks’ possessions.
However, the Sooners have to play with a more honest defense this time around. In the first meeting with Kansas, the Sooners let the Jayhawks have 39 shots from the free-throw line while they only had 23. The Sooners are 4-4-1 ATS in their last nine games at home.
JefeBet Prediction
Kansas flexes its muscle and simply dominates on offense. Oklahoma will not have the firepower to keep up nor the defense to keep the Jayhawks from having their way.
Prediction: The Jayhawks cover the spread
