Kansas suffered a lopsided loss to Iowa State on Saturday but must respond against a hot Texas team to stay in the thick of the Big 12 race. Read on for our Kansas vs. Texas college basketball picks based on the top NCAAB odds.
Head coach Bill Self's Jayhawks (18-5, 6-4 Big 12) have lost four of their last six games and desperately need to hold serve at home against a surging Texas team on Big Monday. The Longhorns (19-4, 8-2 Big 12) come to Lawrence 10th in the AP poll and as winners of seven of their last nine games.
Since the Big 12 champion typically finishes 14-4 or 13-5 in conference play, these are the type of matchups that could go a long way in determining the league race. Kansas is favored by more than a possession ahead of this contest at Allen Fieldhouse.
