Kansas has looked really good in their games this season with their 16-4 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have struggled a little in conference play with their 4-3 conference record, but they have also looked great on their home court all year with their 10-0 home record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State has looked terrible in their games this season with their 9-11 record overall and their 1-6 conference record which has them at the bottom of the Big 12 this season. They have also looked terrible in their road games too with their 0-4 road record. OK State did win their last game at home but they also played West Virginia who doesn't have the talent that Kansas has. Oklahoma State has also looked like one of the worst teams in the Big 12 all season while Kansas is one of the best teams in the country and will be looking to bounce back on their home court after losing a really close game to Iowa State in their last one. Kansas is due for a blowout win here and they will have no trouble pulling it off at home against one of the worst teams in the Big 12. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s always, in my mind, the most important day on the calendar. I really don’t care what anybody thinks about that. We played in the Big 12 Conference Tournament championship game. That year, the Remember the Ten game was the most important game we played, because it honors a commitment to real human life.” - Mike Boynton on playing this game against Kansas.

“We switched a lot. We should have been able to get to shooters better. But give them credit. A lot of it was, could we have done better? Yes. But a lot of it was they made shots they haven't been making.” - Bill Self after his team’s loss against Iowa State in their last game on Saturday.
