Kansas and Houston are two of the most defensively-sound programs in the Big 12 but these offenses are not to be taken lightly, and each played well in their prior meeting, as our college basketball betting picks explain.
The Cougars are the top defensive squad in the country, but the Jayhawks were able to put up 78 points against them in the first meeting. We’ll talk about whether the rematch will follow a similar script or not in our free’ first year in the Big 12 has been a resounding success. Even with a loss today, the Cougars would share the regular season title, quickly quieting any speculation that they might struggle in the move to a major conference schedule.
It would be impossible to expect the Jayhawks to repeat that shooting performance on Saturday. However, it wasn’t purely a fluke. Kansas has one weapon that seems tailor-made to cause trouble for the Cougars: 7-foot-2 center Hunter Dickinson. Still, this should be a close game that could easily be played in the 70s. Houston has scored at least 73 points in five of its last eight games, while Kansas has done the same in three of its last four.
Despite a historically good season, Houston hasn’t been great for bettors, going just 13-15-2 against the spread. Kansas has similarly struggled, putting up just a 13-16 ATS mark on the year.
