The Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawks meet in college basketball action from Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
The Oklahoma Sooners will look to build on their 70-55 win over Texas Tech last time out. Umoja Gibson leads the Sooners in scoring with 12.8 PPG while Tanner Groves is right behind with 12.7 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Oklahoma so far this season. Elijah Harkless has 9.6 PPG while Jalen Hill has 8.5 PPG with a team-high 6 RPG to lead the Sooners on the glass this season. Jordan Goldwire has 9.5 PPG and a team-high 3.6 APG to lead Oklahoma in assists as well this season. As a team, Oklahoma is averaging 69.8 PPG on 48% shooting from the field, 33.5% from three and 75.1% from the foul line while allowing 63.6 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field and 29.8% from three this season.
The Kansas Jayhawks will look to bounce back after a 79-76 loss to Texas in their last game. Ochai Agbaji leads the Jayhawks in scoring with 20.3 PPG along with 5.1 RPG while Christian Braun has 15.1 PPG with 5.7 RPG to lead the Jayhawks on the glass and to make up the other half of the pair of double-digit scorers for Kansas so far this season. David McCormack has 9.3 PPG with 6.9 RPG to lead the Jayhawks in rebounds per game while Jalen Wilson has 9.9 PPG and a team-high 7.1 RPG and Dajuan Harris Jr. has a team-high 4.1 APG to lead Kansas in assists. As a team, Kansas is averaging 80 PPG on 49.6% shooting from the field, 36.1% from three and 71% from the foul line while allowing 68.3 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field and 30% from three this season.
Oklahoma is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games while the over is 15-6 in their last 21 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Kansas is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 35-16-2 ATS in their last 53 games following a loss while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games.
I get the case to be made either way here as Kansas has been so good at home but the Sooners took Kansas to their limit and only lost by three points in the first meeting this season. Instead, I’m going to side with the under in this one as I’m just picturing another physical and tough matchup here. Give me the under in a first to 70 wins game.
