Oklahoma State vs. Kansas Prediction

I’m on Oklahoma State and the points in this game. It’s true, that Allen Fieldhouse can be a tough place for opposing teams to go on the road and win and it’s been a bit of a house of horrors for Oklahoma State in this matchup in recent years. However, this doesn’t feel like the same Kansas team that we’ve seen in recent years either, and the Jayhawks looked really bad on that recent trip to BYU and Utah and kind of looked like they quit in the second half of that BYU game. Oklahoma State showed a ton of fight against Houston and I think that the Cowboys can keep this game somewhat reasonable with the points so give me Oklahoma State and the points in this game.
