Oklahoma Struggles To End Games
If there’s been one issue this season that has plagued the Sooners, it’s been their inability to close out tight games. Coming into Tuesday’s affair, the Sooners have two one-point losses, a three-point loss, and a four-point loss.
All of these are games that could have seen Oklahoma come out on top, but they just didn’t execute well in the critical points of the games and instead took the losses.
They are certainly going to aim high when they travel to take on Kansas and if you’re making your college basketball picks, note that this team can compete. The 10½-point spread in the sportsbook might say otherwise, but the Sooners are more than capable of keeping this close.
Players like Jalen Hill and Milos Uzan must be crucial factors in their offense throughout the night. Hill and Uzan were each able to provide 18 points during their bounce-back win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday.
Kansas Aiming To Defend Title
The Jayhawks are the reigning champions in college basketball and are ranked No. 2 in the nation. Simply put, they’re right back where they were a season ago and looking stronger.
Whether this is their peak or they’re just playing really well right now, this is a challenging team to stop. They’ve only lost once this season, which was a shortcoming against Tennessee in the Bahamas.
Kansas is back at home after a two-game road trip. They escaped Oklahoma State with a 69-67 win in their latest home game. Look for them to be sharper this time around.
