Preview

#6 Kansas Jayhawks will hit the road to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers. These teams just met last month at Kansas and the Jayhawks won the game 85-69 and covered the spread as -11 pts favorites.

KANSAS JAYHAWKS

Kansas have won 17 of their last 20 games after beating Oklahoma St. Ochai Agbaji scored 20 points and all five starters scored double figures, Christian Braun with 16 points, Dajuan Harris and David McCormack with 12 points each, and Jalen Wilson with 11. McCormack also had 12 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season.

The team is scoring 79.4 points per game and own a +11.3 point differential edge. They out-rebound their opponents by almost 6 rebounds per game and force over 13 turnovers per contest. Defensively are allowing 68 points per game and 29.76 rebounds.

The Jayhawks are 6-1 in their last 7 games against the Mountaineers.

WEST VIRGINIA

The Mountaineers have lost nine of their last ten games including a five-point road loss against the Kansas State Wildcats in their last game. Taz Sherman scored 23 points in the loss. Sherman leads the team with 18.6 points per game on the season. 

The team is averaging 68.28 ppg on 41.46% shooting from the field and 31.89% from long distance shots.

Defensively, Kansas is allowing 66.8 ppg on 42.7% shooting from the field.

BETTING TRENDS

Kansas are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games.

Kansas are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.

West Virginia are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games.

West Virginia are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games at home.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Kansas' last 6 games.

Prediction

West Virginia has been struggling in conference games as they're only 3-9 in the Big 12 although they have played well at home. Expect a closer game than the last meet in Kansas. However I'm not going to take a side here what I'm looking is at the total. WVU is allowing 62.29 ppg at home and Kansas score 72.1 ppg on the road. This total will go under.

PICK: Under 145.5 (-110)
