College Basketball Betting Trends

Oklahoma

The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Sooners are 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games when playing a team with a winning record after 15 or more games. 

Kansas

The Jayhawks are 3-2 straight up versus Oklahoma in the last five meetings. Kansas is 2-3 ATS in the last five meetings.

Prediction:

The Jayhawks are the best defensive team in the nation according to adjusted efficiency numbers and it showed in full effect Wednesday night on the road when they completely shut down the Mountaineers in the second half. Kansas already has a 66-52 road win last month against Oklahoma to its credit. I'd imagine the sailing won't be much smoother for the Sooners now that the matchup is in a hostile environment with an early start.
