Who We Like: The Jayhawks are aiming for their 14th consecutive Big 12 regular season championship under Bill Self. All they need to do is beat the Red Raiders, who topped Self’s squad earlier this year.
Kansas is 17-0 in revenge spots over the last 15 years, which includes a win earlier this week against Oklahoma. Of course, Tech owns a 17-game home winning streak, so take these trends with a grain of salt.
The difference for me in this matchup is the health of senior guard Keenan Evans, who is the Red Raiders’ leading scorer. He injured his toe last weekend against Baylor and sat out the second half of the game. He did play this week against Oklahoma State but shot 1-for-7 from the field while recording just two points. Evans did not practice on Thursday and while he should play tonight, he could be limited. I love Kansas in this spot.
