The Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Longhorns face off on Monday in a college basketball showdown at the Frank Erwin Center.
Kansas comes into this game with a 19-3 record overall and they have gone 10-11-1 against the spread. In the last game against Baylor, it might have been their most impressive victory winning 83-59. On the season, Kansas is averaging 80.2 points while their defense is giving up 67.8 points per game. The best player for the Jayhawks is Ochai Agbaji and he is averaging 20.8 points while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from behind the three point line. In this game, Kansas needs the offense to be good. Remy Martin is still dealing with the knee injury and it's unclear at this point if he is going to be able to. If Martin is back that is a big boost for this team.
On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Longhorns who sit with a 17-6 record and they have gone 10-13 against the spread. Texas is also coming off a big win beating Iowa State 63-41. The defense has been good all season, and they need the defense to be good in this game. Texas is averaging 68.2 points while their defense is giving up 54.9 points per game. Timmy Allen has been the best player for Texas averaging 11.2 points while shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from behind the three point line.
Texas is 1-4 against the spread in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The over is 5-0-1 in the Jayhawks last six games played on Monday. The over is 4-0 in the Jayhawks last four games as a road underdog. The Jayhawks are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games following a straight up win.
Kansas was impressive in the last game against Baylor and they are going to find success in this game. Even against a good defense, Kansas is going to run up the score, and the Jayhawks will come away with a victory. I expect Kansas to win by at least six or seven points.
