Kansas Jayhawks are winners of 12 straight and are a perfect 16-0 straight up on their home court.

They are coming off a bad 83-68 home loss to Kansas St as a 5-½ point underdog this past Saturday. They allowed the Wildcats to convert on over 53% of their shots. Their past three opponents have shot no worse than 50% from the field so the Sooners are not stopping anyone.
