The Oklahoma Sooners (10-5, 1-2 Big 12) will attempt to take down the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (14-1, 3-0) at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Oklahoma vs. Kansas odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Kansas, led by Jalen Wilson 20.2 points and 8.8 rebounds, beat West Virginia 76-62 on Saturday as a 1.5-point road favorite. The Jayhawks are averaging 77.7 points and will attempt to control the game against an Oklahoma defense which ranks 29th in the nation allowing just 61.6 PPG.
While the Sooners can hold teams down on defense, the offense has been an issue, averaging only 68.3 PPG (272nd in the country). While their 49.2 FG% ranks the Sooners 16th, they will need to take more shots against the Jayhawks to keep up in this matchup in Lawrence.

Oklahoma at Kansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Kansas 68, Oklahoma 59
Moneyline
PASS.
Do not wager on the moneyline in this game. Kansas at home against an overmatched Oklahoma team is not likely to lose. On the other hand, I am still not going to wager -650 on a straight wager of any kind.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA +10.5 (-105).
Kansas will score. But Oklahoma and its top tier defense will hold the Jayhawks down enough for this game to stay close down to the end. I do not think the Sooners will win, but they can keep it within single digits.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 132.5 (-105).
Both defenses will come to shine in this game.
Kansas is also 7-2 to the Under in its last 9 Tuesday games and 5-2 to the Under against teams with winning road records. All the stars line up for the Under to be the way to go.
