Texas Longhorns
Texas has picked up big wins of late. To that, after losing to Tennessee last weekend, the Longhorns have bounced back with two crucial Big 12 wins over Baylor and Kansas State. Adding on, Texas trailed 36-25 at the half in its last game against Kansas State before scoring 44 points in the second half to rally to a victory.
Win Over Kansas State
Taking a closer look, Texas’ ability to shoot free throws efficiently went on a long way in its win over Kansas State as the Longhorns shot 19 of 24 from the charity stripe. All in all, this helped mask the fact that the Longhorns turned the ball over 17 times. On the other side, however, the Longhorns defense had 19 takeaways.
Longhorn Leaders
Scoring wise, senior guard Marcus Carr leads Texas with 16.7 points a game and 4 assists a game, while Sir’Jabari Rice, Timmy Allen and Tyreese Hunter all average double figures in points a game.
Kansas Jayhawks
Time to Rebound
Last time out, the Jayhawks struggled to take care of the basketball and it ended up being the difference in a 68-53 loss to the Iowa State Cyclones. With that, the Jayhawks now find themselves tied for third in the always competitive Big 12.
Where’s the Help?
Additionally, in the Iowa State game, Kansas turned the ball over 20 times. On offense, Jalen Wilson scored 26 points, but the rest of the team struggled to get it going as no other Kansas player scored in double figures. Also of note, The Jayhawks turned it over 11 times in the first half and dug themselves too big of a hole to climb out of.
By The Numbers
Offensively, Kansas scores 75.6 points per game while shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three. Adding on, Kansas is 27th in the country in offensive efficiency according to KenPom.
Individually, Jalen Wilson leads Kansas in both points and rebounds, recording 21.5 points and 8.3 rebounds a contest. Outside of Wilson, freshman Gradey Dick is making a name for himself and is skyrocketing up draft boards. With that, he is averaging 14.5 points a game and is a very effective shooter from the outside.

Free Texas Longhorns vs Kansas Jayhawks NCAAB Prediction:
For this game, I’m looking for the Kansas Jayhawks to get back on track at home. Adding on, Texas was able to cover up a poor first half performance this past weekend against Kansas State, but they won’t be able to do that in Lawrence.
Furthermore, I expect Kansas to come out with an added sense of urgency against a Texas team that has also struggled to take care of the ball and has had a difficult time covering on the road in recent memory.
All in all, take the Jayhawks.
Free Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks Betting Pick: Kansas -3.5
