The home crowd will be fired up for this showdown. Kansas won its unprecedented 25th consecutive league opener with a 102-74 victory against Baylor last time out and now welcomes unbeaten Big 12 rival Oklahoma. With top-ranked Michigan State losing last week at Iowa, this can been seen as a #1 vs. #2 matchup. Kansas has the pressure defense and guard play to throw at Sooners star Buddy Hield and Oklahoma is 2-8 ATS vs. the Big 12. The Jayhawks rank third in nation in scoring at 88.3 points per game, plus second in three-point field goal percentage at 46.0 percent. The Jayhawks also average 18.6 assists, which stands #13 nationally, as well as 8.5 steals and 4.4 blocked shots per contest. The Jayhawks have also won 13 of the last 15 meetings against the Sooners. Kansas is also 72-16 straight-up against Oklahoma in games played in Lawrence, and 45-7 inside Allen Fieldhouse.
