Saturday college hoops features a BIG12 showdown from Allen Fieldhouse between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawks.
These teams played previously on January 18th with Kansas narrowly escaping with a 67-64 victory. Jalen Wilson with game highs of 16 points and 8 rebounds for the Jayhawks.
Oklahoma Sooners
Oklahoma got off to a strong start this season under first-year head coach Porter Moser. The Sooners went 12-3 through their first 15 games, taking down 3 teams that were inside the top 15 at the time. They were unable to maintain that momentum during conference play, losing 7 of their next 8 games.
The Sooners were able to snap a three-game losing streak with a 70-55 win over No. 9 Texas Tech on Wednesday night at home. Oklahoma was down 30-25 at halftime but dominated in the second half, outscoring the Red Raiders 45-25. Umoja Gibson was the catalyst for the Sooner’s offense with a season 30 points. The senior guard was on fire from deep, finishing 8/11 from 3-point range.
Oklahoma comes into this game ranked No. 63 in KenPom’s adjusted offensive efficiency ratings. Oklahoma has been deadly from close range, ranked 5th nationally in 2-point shooting percentage. However, the Sooners are No. 338 in turnover rate, giving the ball away on more than 22% of their possessions.
Guard Umoja Gibson leads Oklahoma with 12.8 points per game, while forward Eastern Washington transfer Tanner Groves is adding 12.7 points and 5.7 rebounds.
Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas has been a consistent team all season and sit atop the deep BIG12 Conference at 8-2. They were dominated by Kentucky at home during the Big 12/SEC Challenge at the end of January, but they bounced back with wins over then-No. 20 Iowa State and then-No. 8 Baylor.
The Jayhawks were upset on Monday when they fell on the road to Texas 79-76. Kansas held a 4-point lead with less than a minute remaining but were unable to close the game out with costly turnovers and missed free throws. Jalen Wilson led the way offensively with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds.
The Jayhawks come into this game ranked third in adjusted offensive efficiency. They are solid in just about every category and are as talented as any team in the country on that end of the court.
However, they are currently playing without guard Remy Martin, who was the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year. Martin was averaging 8.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game before going down with a knee injury.
Senior guard Ochai Agbaji leads Kansas with 20.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while guard Christian Braun is adding 15.7 points and 5.7 rebounds.

4* Free Oklahoma vs. Kansas CBB Betting Prediction Oklahoma ATS
Oklahoma is the type of team that is built to not have much variance in its road games. The Sooners are one of the most experienced teams in the conference. They also play strong defense and rely on 2-point shooting, which are both things that can easily be replicated in unfamiliar environments.
Kansas was just embarrassed at home two weeks ago which shows they can be beat in Allen Fieldhouse. Oklahoma has covered the spread in 8 of the last 12 meetings between these teams so they are plenty familiar with the Jayhawks.
Take Oklahoma to cover this large spread on the road.
