The Bum's College Hoops For February Rated Games -Trends - News !!

[StarDust Bum]

Preview: Hurricanes (19-4) at Seminoles (16-8)
Date: February 14, 2016 6:30 PM EDT

Miami bottled up Florida State's freshman scoring duo of Malik Beasley and Dwayne Bacon the first time these teams met while also getting a huge second-half effort from Sheldon McClellan.

The 12th-ranked Hurricanes will try to duplicate that effort on the road in Sunday night's rematch against the improving Seminoles.

Miami (19-4, 8-3 ACC) was also ranked No. 12 for its 72-59 home victory over Florida State on Jan. 9. Beasley and Bacon combined for 23 points on 9-of-28 shooting; they form the highest-scoring freshman tandem in the country with a combined average of 33.2 points.

McClellan also keyed that victory by making all seven shots after halftime after missing his first four attempts, scoring 20 of his 21 points in the second half. He's averaging 17.7 points in three games against the Seminoles.

"This is our second time playing Florida State," McClellan said. "So I'm pretty sure they know what we do, we know what they do so it's about whoever makes the most plays on the court."

That may not be the case since Florida State (16-8, 6-6) has shown improvement with a four-game win streak that ended with Thursday's 85-72 loss at Syracuse. The Seminoles are shooting 47.2 percent in a 6-3 stretch since they connected at a season-low 35.4 percent versus the Hurricanes.

Beasley and Bacon combine to shoot 51.2 percent at home, where Florida State is 8-2 with a win over current-No. 7 Virginia.

"They are such an improved team, a very talented team and a team that plays better at home than they do on the road," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. "They've changed quite a bit since the first time that we played them."

Beasley is among the top guards in the conference at 50 percent from the field, with McClellan ranking No. 1 at 53.4. McClellan will look to bounce back after being held to 10 points for his lowest effort in an ACC game in Tuesday's 65-63 win over Pittsburgh.

The Hurricanes trailed at halftime in a contest that was tight throughout, with Angel Rodriguez scoring on an offensive rebound with 1.4 seconds left for the winning basket. Rodriguez, who fouled out in 24 scoreless minutes two days earlier in a win at Georgia Tech, scored a game-high 17.

Center Tonye Jekiri added his fourth double-double with 10 points and 10 boards in 25 foul-plagued minutes. The 7-footer, among the league leaders with 9.8 rebounds per game, was a big factor last month against the Seminoles with eight points and 10 boards.

'He has such a big impact on the defensive end,' Larranaga said. 'There are plays he makes that there is no statistical category for.'

Beasley and Bacon will try to shake off a rough night against the Orange, as they totaled 25 points on 8-of-28 shooting. Coach Leonard Hamilton was more upset over the defensive effort as Syracuse shot 62.0 percent for the worst mark allowed by the Seminoles in three seasons.

'I was very disappointed in our defensive field-goal percentage,' Hamilton said. 'They took advantage of every defensive breakdown."

The Hurricanes are hopeful that reserve guard Ivan Cruz Uceda will return after missing the Pitt game with the flu.

Preview: Golden Gophers (6-18) at Hawkeyes (19-5)
Date: February 14, 2016 7:30 PM EDT

Iowa's most recent home defeat came one year ago this week to Minnesota.

Though these Golden Gophers are not of the same caliber and mired in their longest skid in almost three decades, coach Fran McCaffery wants to make sure his fourth-ranked Hawkeyes don't take anything for granted in Sunday night's home matchup.

McCaffery seemed less concerned about Iowa's overall solid effort in Thursday's 85-78 loss at Indiana than he is with its readiness to hand Minnesota (6-18, 0-12 Big Ten) a 14th consecutive defeat.

Though McCaffery expects to utilize his bench more after it was outscored 28-0 by the Hoosiers and needs a better performance than the 13-of-23 showing from the free-throw line, his biggest need - at least publicly - from Iowa (19-5, 10-2) this weekend is focus. It's something that hasn't been a problem for the Hawkeyes, but can creep into the collective mind of any heavy favorite while facing an opponent that's closing in a school-record 16-game losing streak set in 1986-87.

"I don't look at their record," said McCaffery, whose Hawkeyes have won 15 straight at home by an average of 18.4 points since losing 64-59 to the Gophers on Feb. 12 of last year.

"They have our attention, no question," McCaffery added.

The Hawkeyes have dropped two of three against Minnesota and needed a Jarrod Uthoff bucket with 6.1 seconds left to win 77-75 at Minneapolis in last season's first meeting.

"It shouldn't be too hard to get (our guys) to understand who we're playing," McCaffery said.

He also mentioned that even minus its top two scorers from last season's 18-win team and with only two seniors seeing regular time, Minnesota's been competitive while dropping seven of its league games by eight points or less. McCaffery singled out a 74-68 loss at then No. 19 Indiana on Jan. 20, when the Gophers overcame a 16-point second-half deficit to take the lead with less than 5 minutes.

"(Coach Richard Pitino) has good young players, and he's trying to push the right buttons," McCaffery said. "If you look at their record, it isn't reflective. ... They have had many games where they have been right there."

Minnesota shot 46.6 percent in Wednesday's 82-74 loss to Michigan, which shot 53.8 percent. It came one game after Northwestern made 53.7 percent of its attempts in an 82-58 rout of the Gophers.

'At some point here, come on,' said Pitino, who is trying to prevent Minnesota's first winless Big Ten season. 'Let's get some wins.'

Pitino would also like to see a squad that's 11 for 65 from 3-point range in the last four games, take the ball to the basket more. That would make sense against Iowa, which is among the national leaders in defensive 3-point field-goal percentage (29.7).

'It's hard to tell a guy, `Hey, you're not a great 3-point shooter,'' Pitino said. 'That's got to be our identity, driving the ball."

Minnesota sophomore Nate Mason has averaged 17.8 points and 6.0 assists in six games. He scored 29 in the two meetings with Iowa in 2014-15.

Uthoff (18.6 points per game) totaled 39 points in those matchups last season, and had 24 despite going 8 of 20 from the field at Indiana.

Teammate Peter Jok (15.3 ppg) should be available after overcoming an apparent leg injury to play 30 minutes Thursday. He scored 16 in last season's home loss to the Gophers.

Preview: Trojans (18-6) at Wildcats (20-5)
Date: February 14, 2016 8:00 PM EDT

Arizona isn't saying whether it has bitter memories of losing to Southern California in the longest game in college basketball this season.

The 17th-ranked Wildcats can avenge last month's quadruple-overtime loss to the No. 23 Trojans by winning at home for the seventh straight time in this series Sunday night.

USC (18-6, 7-4 Pac-12) served notice that it is a contender for the conference crown by outlasting Arizona 103-101 at home Jan. 9. It remains the nation's only game this season to go four overtimes and the only one in Wildcats history.

Elijah Stewart led the Trojans with 27 points, including two free throws with 22 seconds left for the final margin in a high-octane contest between two of the conference's top-scoring teams. The Trojans average 83.3 points and the Wildcats 81.2.

"I can't tell you how talented USC is," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "When we played them the first time in L.A., it felt like a video game. It felt like the first 20 minutes we could not stop them."

That contest ended in controversial fashion when Stewart scored the winning points after a foul by Justin Simon that the Wildcats (20-5, 8-4) felt wasn't an infraction. They don't believe that the draining defeat gives them any extra motivation.

"We know they're a great team, they've got a lot of skilled players, they've got a lot of athletic guys," Arizona center Kaleb Tarczewski said. "Offensively they're unbelievable. It's going to be a tough game. It's not about revenge, it's just about us playing our game, being at our best on Sunday."

The Trojans' backcourt of Jordan McLaughlin and Julian Jacobs combined for 35 points, with Jacobs notching a career-high seven steals.

Allonzo Trier led Arizona with 25 points but broke his hand and missed the next four weeks. The Wildcats have won both games since he returned and four in a row overall.

Ryan Anderson had his streak of five straight double-doubles snapped at USC with a season-low five points and eight rebounds. He's enjoying another run of five straight after having 11 points and 13 boards in Friday's 81-75 win over UCLA in which Arizona battled back from a 10-point halftime deficit.

Trier led the way with 18 points and Parker Jackson-Cartwright, a Los Angeles native who was recruited by USC, scored a career-high 16.

"I thought this was a game that reflects the resiliency of this team and the toughness because there were a number of times we could have given in and we didn't," Miller said.

Jackson-Cartwright started in place of freshman Kadeem Allen, who scored four points in 21 minutes while playing with a lingering virus. Miller said Allen threw up three times Friday.

"We didn't really have Kadeem," Miller said. "He did the best he could."

Arizona moved ahead of USC in the Pac-12 standings after the Trojans' three-game win streak ended with Friday's 74-67 defeat at Arizona State despite Nikola Jovanovic's 25 points and 15 boards. The Trojans shot 51.9 percent but set season lows in 3-pointers made (two) and attempted (11).

'We just didn't play well,' coach Andy Enfield said. 'We played hard at times. We just didn't play well enough. A 31-game schedule, you are going to have bumps in the road.'

Stewart made 1 of 7 shots for two points, missing all four from beyond the arc, and Bennie Boatwright fouled out in 14 scoreless minutes. They are among six Trojans averaging at least 10 points.

USC hasn't won at the McKale Center since 2008 and has lost its last three visits by a combined 70 points.

Sunday's Tip Sheet
February 13, 2016

Sunday’s college basketball slate gets a fast start out of the gate with a pair of Top 10 teams in both the ACC and the Big Ten trying to successfully defend their home court. In the first of two 1 p.m. (ET) tips, the ACC’s Pittsburgh Panthers go on the road to Chapel Hill to face the No. 9 North Carolina Tar Heels. The other early start is a Big Ten tilt between the Indiana Hoosiers and the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans in East Lansing.

Pittsburgh Panthers at No. 9 North Carolina Tar Heels (ESPN3, 1 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: North Carolina -10

Betting Matchup

Pittsburgh has dropped its last two games straight-up, but it was able to cover against the spread in Tuesday’s 65-63 loss to Miami as a 7 ½-point road underdog. The Panthers are an even 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games while alternating a loss with a win over this entire stretch. The total stayed UNDER 143 in the loss to the Hurricanes and it has stayed UNDER in six of the Panthers’ last eight games.

Junior forward Michael Young was the only Pittsburgh starter in double figures in Tuesday’s loss with 12 points and sophomore forward Ryan Luther added 12 points off the bench. Young is the team’s leading scorer with 16.6 points per game and he is also the Panthers’ top shooter with an impressive 55.4 field goal percentage. Pitt is averaging 78.4 PPG and it is holding teams to 66.3 points at the other end of the court.

The Tar Heels are at the top of the ACC standings at 9-2 SU, but both of those losses came in their last three games. After falling to Louisville and Notre Dame on the road to start the month of February, they snuck by Boston College 68-65 on the road this past Tuesday as heavy 20 ½-point favorites. North Carolina is now a costly 1-6 ATS in its last seven games with the total staying UNDER in all six of those ATS losses.

North Carolina is averaging 83.8 PPG this season, but this average has fallen to just 74.6 points over its last five games. Senior forward Brice Johnson leads the team in scoring with 16.3 PPG and he is pulling down a team-high 10.2 rebounds a game. The Tar Heels remain deep in scorers with five additional players averaging at least 10 points a game. North Carolina is shooting 48 percent from the field and it is pulling down an average of 40.9 rebounds a game.

Betting Trends

-- The Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games on the road, but they fall to 2-7 ATS in their last nine games played on Sunday. The total has stayed UNDER in their last four road games.

-- The Tar Heels are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and they have failed to cover in four of their last five games following a SU win. The total has gone OVER in six of their last eight games at home.

-- Head-to-head in this ACC clash, Pitt has won two of three previous meetings both SU and ATS with the total going OVER in all three games.

Indiana Hoosiers at No. 8 Michigan State Spartans (CBS, 1 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Michigan State -7 ½

Betting Matchup

Indiana continues to stay in the thick of the Big Ten regular season title race at 10-2 SU in conference play, but it has failed to cover in three of its last five games. The Hoosiers were able to cover as three-point home favorites in this past Thursday’s important 85-78 victory against No. 4 Iowa. The total went OVER 152 points in that game after staying UNDER in their previous three games.

The Hoosiers are the 10th-highest scoring team in the nation with 84.1 PPG led by senior guard Yogi Ferrell’s 17.1 scoring average. He went cold in the win against Iowa with a 2-for-12 shooting performance as opposed to his 46.2 field goal percentage on the year. Both Troy Williams (12.8 PPG) and Thomas Bryant (12.0) are each scoring in double figures and shooting better than 50 percent from the field. Indiana as a team is hitting 50.9 percent of its shots from the field this season.

Michigan State is likely to drop out of the top ten in both major polls following this past Tuesday’s 82-81 overtime loss to Purdue, but it still covered in that game as a 2 ½-point road underdog. The Spartans are now 4-1 SU in their last five games with a perfect 5-0 mark ATS. The total went OVER 143 in Tuesday’s loss and it has gone OVER in their last three games. Michigan State is 13-8 ATS this season when closing as a favorite.

Senior guard Denzel Valentine went off in the loss to Purdue with a game-high 27 points and he remains the Spartans’ leading scorer with 19 PPG. He has now scored 20 points or more in his last three starts. Valentine also leads the team in assists with 6.9 as part of the Spartans’ 20.4 assists a game which is the highest total in the nation. They have also played stout defense at the other end of the court with a points-allowed average of 63.6.

Betting Trends

-- The Hoosiers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine Sunday games and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a SU winning record. The total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five road games.

-- The Spartans are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games and they have covered in five of their last six games played on Sunday. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight home games.

-- The road team in this Big Ten tilt has covered ATS in five of the last six meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in three of the last four meetings. Indiana is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 road games against Michigan State.

Preview: Wolfpack (13-12) at Cavaliers (20-5)
Date: February 15, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

Virginia will get an opportunity to put its stamp on the ACC race in its upcoming games but will first have to get past one of the teams near the bottom of the standings.

The seventh-ranked Cavaliers will seek to shake off a stunning loss Monday night by continuing their recent mastery over North Carolina State.

Virginia (20-5, 9-4) trails conference leader North Carolina by 1 1/2 games, but will get to face the Tar Heels and another contender, Miami, to close out this month. The Cavaliers will also take on No. 13 Louisville and Clemson to finish the regular season.

"This stretch of games, I said (to the players), will test the mettle of great teams," coach Tony Bennett said. "Now, I don't think we're a great team. I think at times we're good and can play real good, but this will test us. We'll get ourselves as ready as we can and stay true to who we are."

The Cavaliers' chances for a third consecutive regular-season league title took a hit Saturday as Duke's Grayson Allen banked in a shot at the buzzer to hand Virginia a 63-62 road loss, ending a seven-game win streak.

Bennett thought Allen traveled on the game's final play and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski felt his sophomore guard was fouled.

"The good thing about a quick turnaround is we don't have time to hang our heads," forward Anthony Gill told the school's official website. "We're going to go in the gym and really move on from this and learn from it, but continue to work."

Virginia will seek to bounce back with a fourth consecutive win over NC State (13-12, 3-9) and seventh in a row at home in the series. The Cavaliers' stingy defense will try to contain red-hot ACC scoring leader Anthony "Cat" Barber (24.1 ppg).

The junior guard had a career-high 38 points in a 99-88 victory against Wake Forest on Saturday and is averaging 32.2 while shooting 53.1 percent in his last five games. Barber has also scored at least 30 points in five of his last seven contests.

"He's elite in terms of his quickness and speed," said Bennett, whose team leads the ACC in scoring defense at 59.8 points per game. "He's added some shooting to his game. He's having a heck of a year."

Barber, who averaged 12.1 points last season, had a combined 17 while shooting 35.0 percent in two losses to Virginia. NC State is averaging 47.7 points during its three-game losing streak to Virginia while shooting 33.5 percent.

The Cavaliers will try to earn an 18th consecutive home win in their only scheduled meeting with the Wolfpack this season. They've beaten the last 38 unranked visitors.

NC State is 1-5 on the road in ACC play and was beaten 67-55 by then-No. 5 North Carolina on Jan. 16 in its only other visit to a ranked team. The Wolfpack are 2-3 overall against Top 25 opponents this season.

Preview: Aggies (18-8) at Shockers (18-7)
Date: February 15, 2016 8:00 PM EDT

With its dominance in the Missouri Valley Conference vanishing over the past 10 days, Wichita State may be looking forward to a break in the league schedule.

The 25th-ranked Shockers still don't figure to have an easy time Monday night against a New Mexico State team that arrives in Kansas riding a nine-game winning streak and considerable NCAA Tournament experience.

Wichita State's lead atop the Missouri Valley has become less comfortable with two losses in three league games, a stunning development for a program that went 35-1 in regular-season play over the previous two seasons and began this one with 11 consecutive conference wins.

Offensive inefficiency was the determining factor in both defeats. After shooting 35.2 percent and going 6 of 27 from 3-point range in a 58-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 6, the Shockers (18-7) were held to a season-low 30.3 percent as Northern Iowa halted the nation's longest home winning streak at 43 games with Saturday's 53-50 upset.

"We've got to bounce back and figure out ways to score and come out of the gate a little better, and hopefully get back on the winning trail," coach Gregg Marshall said.

The Shockers rallied from a 15-point deficit to tie Saturday's game at 44 with 11:32 left, then went scoreless for the next 7:42 and missed 15 of their final 17 shots, including open 3-pointers from Ron Baker and Conner Frankamp in the final seconds.

'It's one thing to play your best and play really good and lose. It's another thing to not play good,' guard Fred VanVleet said. 'We didn't play very well.'

Wichita State's two senior stars have been particularly off of late. After going 3 of 15 against Northern Iowa, VanVleet is averaging 7.0 points on 22.6 percent shooting over his last three. Baker, who finished 5 of 16, is averaging 9.8 in his last six after a 15.1 per game mark over the first 19.

Those struggles could continue, as New Mexico State (18-8) is limiting opponents to 36.9 percent during its streak and has yielded 55 points or less in three of its last four. The four-time defending Western Athletic Tournament champion Aggies held Chicago State to 33.3 percent in Saturday's 69-55 win.

"I was pleased the way we played with the energy and concentration that they had," coach Marvin Menzies said.

New Mexico State is just 1-5 in non-conference games on the road, however, and was dealt a 71-54 loss in last season's visit to Koch Arena. The Aggies are 0-7 at Wichita State since an 89-67 win in January 1977, when both were Missouri Valley members.

The Shockers scored 26 points off 20 Aggies turnovers in last season's meeting and should have another advantage in this one. Wichita State ranks second nationally with a plus-5.2 turnover margin and New Mexico State is last in the WAC in that category at minus-3.0.

Wichita State is 14-2 when recording at least 14 takeaways. The Aggies had 17 against 4-23 Chicago State.

New Mexico State, fourth in Division I in rebounding margin at plus-11.1, does present a matchup problem in Pascal Siakam. The 6-foot-9 forward is averaging 21.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks and had 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting against Chicago State.

Preview: Cowboys (12-13) at Jayhawks (21-4)
Date: February 15, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

Bill Self admitted he was about as excited as he's been in his 13 years at Kansas after this weekend's huge win over one of the Big 12's top contenders.

While looking forward to the next game against one of the conference's bottom-feeders, Self's voice lost its pep and turned more business-like.

The sixth-ranked Jayhawks look to keep rolling and avenge their only loss against a non-ranked team when Oklahoma State visits Monday night.

Kansas (21-4, 9-3) is riding the high of Saturday's 76-72 win at No. 3 Oklahoma, its second over the Sooners in what has been a heavyweight league matchup this season.

The latest victory lifted the Jayhawks into a share of first place in the Big 12 with No. 10 West Virginia, which they beat 75-65 four days earlier as part of a five-game winning streak.

"You can tell I'm excited, but this is about as much fun as I've had coaching the game in a while," Self said. "It was a big, big, big-time game and a huge win. Of course, it sets up a rematch game on Monday."

That's when the enthusiasm in Self's voice mellowed.

"It doesn't do anything unless we take care of business the rest of the way," he added. "We still got a lot of hard games left. It's early in the conference race."

Maybe the reason Self backed up a bit was the sequence of events that followed last month's 109-106 triple-overtime win over Oklahoma. That victory lost some of its luster over an ensuing 3-3 stretch, including a bitter 86-67 road loss against the Cowboys (12-13, 3-9) on Jan. 19.

Oklahoma State handed the Jayhawks their worst defeat since early last season, becoming responsible for two of their previous three losses against unranked teams. However, both came in Stillwater - the first a 67-62 decision last February.

Kansas has won two in a row and 11 of 12 in this series at Allen Fieldhouse since 1997. The Jayhawks are 14-0 there this season and have won 39 in a row at home dating to Jan. 11, 2014 - the third-longest streak in school history.

After averaging 69 points on 41.8 percent shooting in the five games that followed its marathon win over Oklahoma last month, Kansas has scored 77.5 per game and shot 50.3 percent in the last six.

Top scorers Perry Ellis (17.2 points per game coming in) and Wayne Selden Jr. (14.7) combined for just 16 this time against the Sooners, but Devonte' Graham filled the void with the best game of his career. The sophomore guard made 6 of 9 from 3-point range and scored a career-high 27 while defending Buddy Hield - one of the nation's top scorers.

"He was as good (Saturday) as anybody's been at Kansas since I've been here," Self said of Graham, who helped hold Hield without a field goal in the first half after the Sooners star scored 46 in the first meeting. "He was special."

Oklahoma State ranks near the bottom of the Big 12 by allowing 69.7 points per game in league play, but the Cowboys snapped a three-game losing streak with Saturday's 58-55 overtime win over Kansas State - moving them one game ahead of last-place TCU.

They seek their first back-to-back victories since early January while trying to improve to 2-6 in true road games.

"I'm obviously proud," coach Travis Ford told the team's official website. "We've been through a lot and I feel bad for them because they hear the same things that I hear."

Big Monday Tip Sheet
February 14, 2016

The second half of February’s college basketball schedule gets off to fast start on ESPN’s Big Monday with two of the top teams in the nation continuing their push for the regular season title in their respective conference.

The first game on the slate in a 7 p.m. (ET) start is a border clash between the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers in the ACC. Next-up is a Big 12 battle in Lawrence with the No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks playing host to the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 9 p.m.

North Carolina State Wolfpack at No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Virginia -12 ½

Betting Matchup

NC State has just three straight-up wins in the ACC this season against nine losses, but one of those victories came this past Saturday with a 99-88 romp over Wake Forest as an eight-point home favorite. The Wolfpack have now covered against the spread in their last four games and the total has gone OVER in their last six outings.

Junior guard Anthony Barber scored a career-high 38 points in Saturday’s win with 30 of the points coming in the second half. He leads NC State in scoring this season with 24.1 points per game as part of the team’s 76.2 point scoring average.

The Cavaliers should lose some ground in the national rankings this week following Saturday’s 63-62 loss to Duke at the buzzer, but they managed to cover as two-point road underdogs. They are now 4-1 both SU and ATS in their last five games and the total has stayed UNDER in all five of those contests.

Senior guard Malcolm Brogdon leads Virginia in scoring with 17.7 PPG and he matched that total with a team-high 18 points in Saturday’s loss. The team as a whole is averaging 71 points a game while shooting an efficient 49.5 percent from the field, but its main strength remains a defense that is ranked third in the nation in points allowed (59.8).

Betting Trends

-- The Wolfpack have covered in their last four road games, but they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a SU win. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games following a SU win.

-- The Cavaliers are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games played on Monday and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU loss. The total has gone OVER in 12 of their last 17 Monday games.

-- Head-to-head in this conference clash, the underdog has covered the spread in five of the last six meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five games.

Oklahoma State Cowboys at No.6 Kansas Jayhawks (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Kansas -13

Betting Matchup

It has been a long season for Oklahoma State at 12-13 SU and this record includes a 3-9 mark in Big 12 play. The Cowboys are 2-5 SU (3-3-1 ATS) in their last seven games, but they are coming off a rare conference win following Saturday’s 58-55 victory against Kansas State as 1 ½-point home favorites. The total stayed UNDER the 131-point closing line in that game and it has now stayed UNDER in their last six games.

Freshman guard Jawun Evans has led the team in both points (12.9) and assists (4.9), but he missed the game against Kansas State with a shoulder injury and there is no time-table for his return. This will put a dent in a Cowboys’ 69 point scoring average that is already ranked second to last in the Big 12.

Kansas is tied with West Virginia at 9-3 SU for the lead in the Big 12. Following a huge 76-72 upset of Oklahoma this past Saturday as three-point road underdogs, the Jayhawks are riding a five-game winning streak both SU and ATS. The total stayed UNDER 156 in that win and it has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games.

Sophomore guard Devonte’ Graham scored a career-high 27 points against the Sooners with Perry Ellis and Frank Mason III adding a combined 24 points to help pace the win. Kansas is the second-highest scoring team in the conference behind Oklahoma with an average of 82.7 PPG.

Betting Trends

-- The Cowboys are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six Monday games, but they fall to 12-26-1 ATS in their last 39 games on the road. The total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five games on Monday.

-- The Jayhawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games and they are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a SU losing record. The total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five home games.

-- The home team in this Big 12 matchup has covered in the last five meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of those games. Oklahoma State stunned Kansas 86-67 on Jan. 19 as a nine-point home underdog and the total went OVER the closing 142 ½-point line.

Bonus Game: New Mexico State Aggies at No. 25 Wichita State Shockers (ESPN3, 8 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Wichita State -14 ½

Betting Matchup
