About Kansas

• The Jayhawks are No. 14 in KenPom’s team efficiency, sitting at No. 20 in adjusted offensive efficiency and No. 14 adjusted defensive efficiency.
• Since playing the Sooners, KU has dropped its last two games — a 75-70 loss at Oklahoma State and a 77-69 loss at No. 2 Baylor. Both losses are excusable, and the Jayhawks are not short on talent, but KU doesn’t have the stranglehold that it once had in this conference.

One Big Thing

• Very early Bracketology: ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm currently have the Sooners as a No. 9 seed. Needless to say, a win over Kansas would go a long way, as OU needs to pick up a few wins in this brutal eight-game stretch. Seven of the games in this span are against current top-18 teams, and if OU pull something out in two or three of them, the team will be in a pretty decent spot. As mortal as Kansas appears to be right now, Saturday presents a real opportunity.

Prediction

Oklahoma 67, Kansas 65
