Kansas Looks To Bounce Back at the Expense of the Struggling Cowboys
The timing is not ideal for Oklahoma State to make the trip to Lawrence, Kansas to face a Kansas team coming off a four-point loss. The Oklahoma State vs Kansas betting odds have the host Jayhawks listed as a double-digit favorite.
Kansas has won six games in a row against the Cowboys. When the teams met in Stillwater on Jan. 16, Kansas rolled to a 24-point win as a seven-point road favorite. The last time Oklahoma State played at Kansas, the Cowboys nearly pulled off the upset before falling 69-67 as a 10-point underdog.
The college basketball lines list Kansas as a 16-point favorite with -1250 odds to win outright compared to +775 odds for Oklahoma State to pull off the upset.
Oklahoma State center Mike Marsh is questionable, and if he can’t go, that leaves one option, which is that the Cowboys won’t have to match up on 7-foot-1 Hunter Dickinson.
A quick look at the NCAAB rankings: Kansas fell one spot to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll and went from eighth to ninth in the USA Today coaches poll.
Kansas came into the season as the preseason favorite in the Big 12, but the Jayhawks are two games out of first place heading into this game, while Oklahoma State is sitting in last place.

Oklahoma State vs Kansas 
Day/Time:
Records: Oklahoma State (1-6 in the Big 12)/Kansas (4-3 in the Big 12)
Location: Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KS
Thompson Returning to Where It All Started
Oklahoma State’s No. 2 scorer, Bryce Thompson, spent his freshman season at Kansas when he averaged 4.6 points in 17 minutes in the 20 games he played.
In his two previous returns to Allen Fieldhouse, Thompson averaged 17 points. In last year’s narrow loss to Kansas, he was 7-of-13 from the field and 7-of-10 from the 3-point range.
Thompson has just 24 points on 7-of-27 shooting over the last three games, with seven turnovers and one assist. Keep that in mind when looking at the Oklahoma State vs Kansas betting odds.
He did go off for 20 points the last time Oklahoma State played Kansas.
Oklahoma State is 1-5-1 against the spread over the last seven games.
Top Scorer for the Jayhawks Has Been Off the Mark
The good news is that Kevin McCullar has scored in double figures in every game this NCAAB season.
However, it has been a bit of a grind for McCullar over the last two games. He missed 25 of his 35 shots in those two games and is 4-for-14 from 3-point range.
The Iowa State loss should be a wake-up call for many of the Kansas players after the Jayhawks struggled to put away Cincinnati in the previous matchup.
This is the perfect time for McCullar to get back to the early portion of the season, when he shot better than 55% in six of the first nine games.
In the first meeting with Oklahoma State, he had 18 points, six rebounds and eight assists in the 90-66 win.
The total went over in four of the last five games played by Kansas.
