He had 30 points and 11 rebounds against TCU last Saturday. Oklahoma played its first true road game of the season on Wednesday, falling to TCU by nine points as a 5-point underdog.
Why Oklahoma can cover
While Kansas blew out Oklahoma in the most recent meeting, that was an outlier compared to the other four games during the Jayhawks’ five-game winning streak in the series. Their other four wins came by a combined 16 points, so Oklahoma generally keeps these games close. The Jayhawks are coming off a disappointing showing against UCF and have turned the ball over 18 times in each of their first two Big 12 games.
Oklahoma has racked up 36 assists on 50 made shots over the last two games, and it has six players averaging more than eight points per game. Junior guard Javian McCollum leads the way with 14.9 points and 4.0 assists per game after finishing with 17 points, six rebounds and five assists against TCU on Wednesday.
