Jayhawks Out to Send Message to Big-12 Rival Sooners on Monday Night

Jayhawks Out to Send Message to Big-12 Rival Sooners on Monday Night

Top-five Jayhawks ready to take on the world

Kansas has improved its play of late, moving to the number-five ranking in the nation, and preparing to make a major run at the national championship. With the tourney right around the corner, the Jayhawks move closer to a number-one seed with each passing win. They are in great shape with the Orange losing two straight games this past week. Now, they will look to take down their Big-12 rivals from Oklahome at home.

Sooners trying to grab impressive road win for resume

With the tourney approaching quickly, the Sooners need every win they can get. A win on the road against the Jayhawks would put the Sooners in excellent positioning for the tourney. Oklahoma is 20-7 overall, but just 9-5 in the Big-12, which is a major reason why they are not ranked nationally. They have struggled against their conference opponents, which could keep them from making the national tournament. The selection committee would be hard pressed to look past a win over Kansas though.

The oddsmakers at TopBet have the Jayhawks as massive, 11.5-point home chalk over the Sooners tonight. As we wait for the NHL to return, this game should bring plenty of excitement from start to finish. With Kansas enjoying such a strong season, we have to lay the line as they knock off the Sooners in Lawrence for another Big-12 victory. We will place 15 percent of our bankroll on the spread with Kansas tonight.
