Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Kansas Jayhawks live After pulling even in the Big 12 race, the Jayhawks return home to face an Oklahoma State team that is still trying to live up to its talent. In some ways this is the perfect game after a heavyweight fight like KU-Baylor: a home game against a bottom of the Big 12 team. But in some ways it is a dangerous opponent: Kansas will likely still be tired, and while Oklahoma State hasn’t had the results that will make Kansas take them seriously, their talent absolutely should.

Offensively, the Cowboys have been incredibly frustrating. Armed with two of the better shooters in the league, they’re taking threes on just over a third of their attempts and only shooting about 31 percent for the season — and under 30 percent in Big 12 play. Last time out Kansas really frustrated Thomas Dziagwa, not letting him get any room off the catch and forcing him into tough shots whenever he was able to shoot. They’ll have to do much of the same tonight with him as well as Lindy Waters, even though the latter is shooting just 31.8 percent from three this season.
Their offense has been on an uptick lately, scoring over a point per possession in four of its last six games, including against Baylor and Texas Tech. Last meeting against Kansas they were nowhere near that magical number, but to be fair did shoot just 2–18 from three. Even shooting just 33 percent would have gotten them to a point per trip, so the Jayhawks should not be expecting to coast in this one.
Defensively, the Cowboys have been better than offensively, but have also benefited from the proverbial 3-point luck. They’re giving up 3-point attempts on over 45 percent of opponents’ shots from the field, but teams are shooting just 30.5 percent from three against them. Obviously Kansas isn’t a 3-point heavy team, but have guys who can shoot in the mid 30s if given open shots, and with Udoka Azubuike likely pretty tired after Saturday, it makes sense to lean on the perimeter game a bit more in this one.
The Cowboys did a really good job inside last meeting, with Azubuike getting only four field goal attempts and Kansas as a team shooting under 50 percent from two. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, Oklahoma State doesn’t force a lot of turnovers, so they should be able to get enough shot volume to win even with a below par (or above par I suppose) shooting night.
Following its win at Baylor, Kansas grabs the №1 overall seed in today’s bracket update. That said, it’s basically semantics. Kansas continues to lead the Midwest Region and Baylor the South Region. The margin between the two is more of a 1-A and 1-B approach.
The biggest surprise of the weekend was San Diego State losing at home to UNLV. For now, the Aztecs hold onto their №1 seed in the East. Maryland could have made a strong case had the Terrapins won at Ohio State on Sunday. Either way, the door is now open for a Big Ten, Big East, or ACC champion to potentially overtake SDSU. Dayton is squarely in the mix, too.
As for the Bubble, the Providence Friars and UCLA Bruins have both recovered from challenging starts to emerge as serious at-large contenders.
