ATS Matchup Stats<\/a> | Gambling Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This season Kansas is 11-1 at home and Texas is 5-3 on the road.<\/p>\n

In their last games Kansas beat Texas Tech 64-63 and Texas lost to Iowa State 85-76.<\/p>\n

8th ranked Kansas hosts 17th ranked Texas in a Big 12 match up where the Jayhawks can, pretty much, wrap up the conference crown with a win. The Jayhawks are 11-2 in Big 12 play and Texas is 9-4.<\/p>\n

Earlier this season at Texas the Longhorns scored a big upset beating Kansas 81-69. In their last game Kansas got 37 points form their 2 star freshman in leading scorer Andrew Wiggans and Joel Embiid, but in the earlier loss to the Longhorns these 2 struggled big time.<\/p>\n

It is key that the Longhorns shoot a solid FG%, as this season they are 18-1 when they shoot above 40% from the floor as opposed to 2-5 when they do not.<\/p>\n

Texas has to forget about their bad loss to Iowa State where they only shot 32.9% from the floor and they allowed the Cyclones to shoot 49.2%.<\/p>\n

Texas will have to duplicate their performance in the first game against Kansas where they attacked the rim and got 35 points from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n

Texas has a balanced team with 4 players averaging in double figures led by Jonathan Holmes (13.1 ppg) and Isaiah Taylor (13.1 ppg). These 2 players combined to score 45 points in the first meeting this season with Kansas and the Jayhawks have to keep that from happening again.<\/p>\n

Kansas has outscored opponents by an average of 15.5 points during a 6-game home winning streak.
\n[ad-6571516]
\nTexas is 5-3 this season facing ranked teams and Kansas is 6-3. The Longhorns are 1-1 this season on the road facing top 25 teams.<\/p>\n

Betting Trends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Texas is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a S.U. loss, 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a ATS loss, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.<\/p>\n

Kansas is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 home games, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and they have an Over record of 6-0 in their last 6 home games.<\/p>\n

Texas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas.<\/p>\n

Jason\u2019s Pick:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The home team has covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 games between these 2 Big 12 rivals. However, that trend will not continue tonight. I think Kansas will win, but the Longhorns will not get blown out and they will cover.<\/p>\n
