The Cowboys outscored the Sooners 41-30 in the second half to pull away.

Kalib Boone accounted for 14 points and six boards off the bench. Yor Anei added 10 points, 10 caroms and two steals.

Oklahoma State
The Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. Oklahoma State is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as an underdog.
Kansas
The Jayhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall. Kansas is 16-7 ATS in its last 23 games as a home favorite.
Prediction:
This is a big spread and the letdown factor is there, but the Jayhawks already downed Oklahoma State 65-50 on the road and the Cowboys are also in a letdown spot of their own after the win over Oklahoma. I’d rather side with Kansas on its home floor with the short rest as it continues to show why it is deserving of being the top-ranked team in the nation.
