BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds: KANSAS -19.5, Total 147
The Kansas Jayhawks (26-3 SU, 13-12-1 ATS) in Big 12 action that is slated to begin at 9 PM ET.
In the BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds, Kansas is listed as a 19.5-point favorite, with a total of 147 points.
Here are some of the NCAA basketball betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
* TT has covered nine of its last 13 games
* TT has won four of its last six games SU
* TT has played seven of its last eight games OVER the total;
* TT has lost eight of its last nine road games SU
* TT has played four of its last five road games OVER the total
* KAN is 1-7-1 ATS in its last nine games
* KAN has played 11 of its last 16 games OVER the total
* KAN has played seven of its last eight games OVER the total
* KAN has covered five of the last seven meetings
* KAN has won seven of the last nine meetings SU
* Four of the last six meetings have gone UNDER the total
* KAN has won and covered the last five meetings as the home team
* KAN has had the shooting edge in five of the last seven meetings
* KAN has had the rebounding edge in each of the last seven meetings
* KAN has made more three-pointers in four of the last six meetings
Despite 39 points by Michael Beasley, Kansas still beat Texas, but how focused Kansas can get again after extracting some revenge against K-State, which dealt them their first loss of the season in a previous encounter.
Frankly, we're a little concerned about Kansas and their accuracy, as they've been below their season average in each of their last five games. And the red raiders have been a relatively solid 5-3 ATS since Pat Knight took over the coaching reins from his father.
Knight really took his team to task after getting knocked around by 44 points at Texas A&M last Wednesday night, and they responded with the win over Texas, which had been a very hot team coming in. But speaking of "hot," that's what Texas Tech's uber-marksman Alan Voskuil is, hitting 58% from beyond the arc in his last six games. He has the ability to keep Texas Tech in this for a while.
We'll take the points with Texas Tech, the 19.5-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA basketball betting odds.
