NCAA Basketball Betting Jayhawks Look for Big 12 Lead

Monday, February 25 --- Lloyd Noble Center, Oklahoma --- 9:00pm EST
Tonight, the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners (15-12).
The Jayhawks have won six consecutive games SU (straight up) to move into a tie with No. 8 Iowa State.
Mario Chalmers led six Jayhawks in double-figures with 18 points. Sherron Collins, starting for injured guard Russell Robinson, added 12 points, six assists and three steals as Kansas won for the 19th time in its last 21 contests.
Not only are the Jayhawks scoring 86 points per game during their run, but they’re holding teams to 57 points on average and causing them to turn the ball over nearly 15 times a game. The recent dominance by Kansas has made them a hot item among the sports betting community on the hardwood.
Oklahoma has beaten Kansas teams ranked in the top ten four times since 2001, most recently a 71-63 victory at Norman on Feb. 21, 2005, against the then-No. 8 Jayhawks. The Sooners are 4-1 ATS (against the spread) in the last five meetings with Kansas.
The Sooners enter this game in a downward spiral. They have lost their last four games SU & ATS, including Saturday's 68-58 defeat to Texas.
Nate Carter had 13 points and three rebounds against Texas. He is averaging 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds during Oklahoma's losing streak after averaging 19.5 points and 7.4 rebounds over his previous ten contests, with the Sooners going 7-3 SU during that span.
The Sooners have won their last two home matchups against the Jayhawks, but are looking to avoid their first five-game losing streak since a six-game skid in 1991.
Big 12 action has been extremely generous to Kansas investors; the Jayhawks are 6-0 ATS in their last six vs. Big 12 opponents. It's been a different story for Oklahoma supporters; the Sooners are 0-4 ATS in their last four Big 12 games.
Oklahoma seniors Carter, Michael Neal, Kellen Sampson and Chris Walker will be honored in the final home game of their careers as a Sooner just before tip-off.
There will be a ''WhiteOUt'' tonight in Norman with plenty of emotions, and the hostile environment will make this a very interesting contest, especially if you bet on sports.
