Big 12 action tips on Monday as the Oklahoma State Cowboys visit the Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas looks to maintain its No. 8 national ranking, while Oklahoma State tries for another impressive upset.
These teams met on Jan. 4, when Kansas registered a 74-63 victory, which also beat the spread. At 9-2, the Jayhawks lead their conference. Oklahoma State is 5-7 in Big 12 play.
Oklahoma State Cowboys
Though Oklahoma State is ineligible for NCAA Tournament considerations, the 12-12 Cowboys are a dangerous group. Wins this season over Texas, Baylor, Oklahoma and West Virginia give the Cowboys instant upset credibility ahead of Monday’s contest.
OSU’s latest conference victory gained offensive support from Moussa Cisse (18 Pts) and Avery Anderson (18). Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ defense held visiting WVU to 31 percent shooting during Saturday’s 81-58 blowout. With Cisse’s 10 boards, Oklahoma State destroyed the Mountaineers 48-24 on the glass.
However, considering their postseason ban and future NCAA levies, one must question how much intrinsic motivation the Cowboys can offer a Kansas group battling for top tournament seeding. The time comes during each season’s latter stages where raw competitive goals outweigh tired legs and spring break plans.
Oklahoma State averages 98.4 points per 100 possessions and allows 93.7. This Cowboys group has held its own against the nation’s 6th toughest schedule. If not for its postseason ban, the Cowboys’ current resume would reside on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
OK State shoots 44/31/67% and limits opponents to 40% from the field. The Cowboys have used excellent offensive rebounding, turnovers forced and shot blocking to gain their unexpected wins.
Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas leads the Big 12 after surviving against perhaps the nation’s toughest league schedule. Not the prototypical defense-first squad common among their conference, the Jayhawks use versatile offense and timely stops to grind wins.
Kansas acquitted its recent Texas loss by downing Oklahoma 71-69 on Saturday. Jalen Wilson added 22 points and nine rebounds to overcome another subpar KU defensive offering
Of late, the Jayhawks have had two-way lapses, as most of their conference W’s come by slim margins. Kansas is just 2-6 ATS since Jan. 18.
Given these statistics, it seems Kansas may struggle with a double-figure spread, even if Oklahoma State has no tournament hopes.
The Jayhawks average 112.5 points per 100 possessions and allow 96.5. Kansas shoots 46/36/70%. An offensive outburst is the Jayhawks’ best hope for a rare cover on Monday against their feisty opponent.

4* Free Oklahoma State vs. Kansas CBB Betting Prediction: Cowboys ATS
While Oklahoma State lost their last contest vs. Kansas by 11 points, and as stated multiple times in this preview, have no postseason hopes, they are being overlooked a bit this week by Vegas.
When considering Kansas’ recent ATS struggles, the current -11.5 point line in their favor versus Oklahoma State seems like a stretch.
In a contest the Cowboys have some legitimate hope to take ML, roll with OSU to remain competitive enough to slide under the line here.
