PICK: I’m going to take Oklahoma here. The last time these teams played on January 9, the Jayhawks managed a 63-59 win. The Sooners had a 33-31 lead at the half, but didn’t shoot well on 38.3 percent from the field. Kansas had a solid game with 48.9 percent shooting and a 35-32 rebounding edge, but also coughed up 16 turnovers and gave the Sooners 10 steals. This should be another interesting matchup, and I think Oklahoma is ready to bang out a cover in the rematch.
