For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the 2018-19 college basketball season has been a major disappointment. Since the firing of former head coach Travis Ford in 2016 the Pokes will have made the Big Dance in just one of the last four seasons. And this has been one of the worst campaigns in recent memory for OSU. For the Kansas Jayhawks inconsistency has been their one constant this year. Gamblers have grown frustrated with KU’s Jekyll and Hyde split personality. In particular head coach Bill Self’s team has suffered some ugly moments away from home.

Odds Analysis
Live Betting action will go predominantly to Kansas based on their blue blood name brand pedigree and the horrible record of Oklahoma State. Oddsmakers will really have to sweeten the pot to draw action towards OSU.
Current Form
Although the Jayhawks are in the red for the season, they have shown improvement in recent games with four payouts in their last five games with five of their last seven matchups going over the total. Kansas now has a record of 21-7 straight up, 13-15 against the spread, and 16-11-1 over the total. Kansas shares the lead of the Big 12 Conference.
For Oklahoma State they have been as bad recently as they have been all season. The Cowboys have paid in just four of their last six games with three of their last five going under the total. Okie State now stands at 10-18 straight up, 10-18 against the spread, and 11-17 under the total. The Pokes are in the basement of the Big 12 Conference standings.
Matchup Metrics
Oklahoma State ranks a dreadful 301st for scoring offense and 183rd for points allowed. OSU ranks an abysmal 249th for offensive rebounding and 207th for defensive rebounding. The Pokes rank 291st for offensive field goal percentage.
Kansas ranks 100th in the country for scoring offense and 139th for points allowed. The Jayhawks do rank a solid 56th in the country for field goal percentage and are 29th best for shooting percentage permitted.
ATS Stats
Kansas has been a dreadful road favorite recently with just one payout in their last six games in that situation. Three of the Jayhawks last five as away chalks have gone over the total. But Oklahoma State has been equally as bad as a home dog with just five payouts in their last 18 games getting points at Gallagher Iba Arena. Just two of the Cowboys last 10 games as home pups have gone over the total.
Head to Head
Kansas won and covered the previous meeting between these teams this year 84-72 as 10.5 home chalks. However, at Gallagher Iba Arena KU has paid in just one of their last five visits. Nine of the last 12 between these teams at Oklahoma State have gone under the total.
Players to Watch
Kansas is led by Dedric Lawson and his 19 points with 10.3 rebounds per game.

Oklahoma State simply can’t rate a recommendation here. It has been a stunning fall for a program that used to regularly contend for the NCAA Tournament. As one would expect with Kansas, they are starting to play their best ball just ahead of tournament time. Head coach Bill Self is one of the best ever for a reason.
