Pick 1: Kansas Moneyline -200 (DraftKings)
The No. 9 Kansas Jayhawks will look to get back in the win column when they take on the No. 5 Texas Longhorns in a key Big 12 matchup on Monday, February 6. The game will air on ESPN at 9:00 p.m. ET. Kansas is favored 16-2 as the home team and the Longhorns are 1-2 as an away underdog, giving the Jayhawks the edge.
Kansas’s defense has been a standout this season, ranking 10th in the NCAA NET rankings and 11th at KenPom. They hold opponents to 40.9% shooting from the field (46th in the nation) and average 8.7 steals per game (30th in the nation). Kansas’s defense will be crucial to their victory against the Longhorns, who boast a powerful offense with 79.4 points per game (28th in the nation) and a 1.37 assist-to-turnover ratio (32nd in the nation).
The Jayhawks have been strong as the home favorite this season, with a 11-1 record. They are sure to have an advantage in this game with their home-court advantage. After the Jayhawks’ low-scoring loss to Iowa State, they are sure to be motivated and determined to come away with a win.
The Longhorns have been successful against other top teams this season, having beaten Gonzaga, TCU, and Baylor. However, the Jayhawks’ defense and home-court advantage will make it difficult for Texas to come away with a win.
For these reasons, I believe that the Kansas Jayhawks will come away with a victory on Monday night. While this is not a sure bet, the Jayhawks’ defense and home-court advantage make them the clear favorite. The Jayhawks are sure to make a statement in this matchup and prove that their loss to Iowa State was just a minor setback.
