Betting Trends for vs
The Oklahoma State Cowboys have been playing much better basketball as of recent as they have won 4 consecutive games, but they will face a different beast in this matchup as the Kansas Jayhawks are the best team in the country. The Kansas Jayhawks have been great on both sides of the court as they are averaging 74.6 PPG while holding their opponents to an average of 60.7 PPG, but the same can’t be said about Oklahoma State as they only average 64.1 PPG against Big 12 opponents. The Jayhawks are strong in the frontcourt with Udoka Azubuike as he is averaging 14 PPG, 11.6 RPG, and 3 BPG, but the biggest factor for Kansas is the play out of their star guard Devon Dotson. The Jayhawks dominated Oklahoma State by a combined 40 points in their two meetings this year, and I think they have similar success in this spot. Final Score Prediction, Kansas Jayhawks win and cover ATS 77-61.
