Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
The Jayhawks treated Oklahoma very rudely over the weekend, winning 78-55 in Norman on Saturday. Now, it looks for the 2-game sweep in the Sooner State against a Cowboys team that was a thorn in its side earlier in the season.
The Cowboys gave the Jayhawks all they could handle in their first meeting of the season at Allen Fieldhouse on New Year’s Eve, with KU eking out a 69-67 win as a 10-point favorite while the Under (137.5) cashed.
Oklahoma State has been heating up lately, winning 5 straight games and 7 of the past 8 overall, while cashing against the number in 4 of the previous 5 contests. The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games for OSU.

Against the spread
KANSAS -1.5 (-110) is brimming with confidence after dusting Oklahoma like the wind last time out, and it should carry on with another victory over Oklahoma State. The Cowboys did give them a tremendous fight in the first meeting, and OK State is playing great basketball lately, so be ready to sweat before eventually getting the narrow cover.
Over/Under
OVER 139.5 (-105) is the lean, but play it lightly.
The Over has dominated for Oklahoma State lately, going 5-1 in the past 6 games overall, and 4-1 in the past 5 games at home.
The concern is that Kansas is not a great 3-point shooting team and it plays pretty strong defense. That’s never good news for Over bettors.
