Oklahoma State is hungry and home while riding a four-game skid. They lost the last two games by five and two points despite being a dog of eight points in each of them. Now they are home against a Kansas team they've done well against, winning two straight on this court against the Jayhawks. After losing at West Virginia last Tuesday (74-63), Kansas missed 15 of its 20 three-pointers and shot 43.3 percent overall in a seven-point home win against TCU on Saturday as -23 chalk. Kansas is on a 4-10 ATS run in Big 12 play. The Oklahoma State Cowboys field a solid defensive unit that ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring defense at 65.5 points per game. OSU is holding its opponents to 39.2 percent shooting, which ranks third in the league and #27 in the country. Oklahoma State upset Kansas 67-62 last season as the Cowboys held the Jayhawks to 39.6 percent shooting with 18 turnovers. Oklahoma State has taken four of the last six from Kansas in Gallagher-Iba Arena, including the last two meetings. The Cowboys are the only team to beat Kansas in each of the last three seasons, which includes an 85-80 win over the #2 Jayhawks in Lawrence and last year's 67-62 win over #8 Kansas in Stillwater. The last seven head-to-head meetings overall between the two teams have been decided by a grand total of three points, so grab the hungry home dog and play Oklahoma State.
