Earlier this season at Texas the Longhorns scored a big upset beating Kansas 81-69. In their last game Kansas got 37 points form their 2 star freshman in leading scorer Andrew Wiggans and Joel Embiid, but in the earlier loss to the Longhorns these 2 struggled big time.
It is key that the Longhorns shoot a solid FG%, as this season they are 18-1 when they shoot above 40% from the floor as opposed to 2-5 when they do not.
Texas has to forget about their bad loss to Iowa State where they only shot 32.9% from the floor and they allowed the Cyclones to shoot 49.2%.
Texas will have to duplicate their performance in the first game against Kansas where they attacked the rim and got 35 points from the charity stripe.
Texas has a balanced team with 4 players averaging in double figures led by Jonathan Holmes (13.1 ppg) and Isaiah Taylor (13.1 ppg). These 2 players combined to score 45 points in the first meeting this season with Kansas and the Jayhawks have to keep that from happening again.
Kansas has outscored opponents by an average of 15.5 points during a 6-game home winning streak.

Texas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas.
Jason’s Pick:
The home team has covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 games between these 2 Big 12 rivals. However, that trend will not continue tonight. I think Kansas will win, but the Longhorns will not get blown out and they will cover.
