ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll take a stab on Oklahoma State here. The Cowboys hot right now; they’re 7-1 in their last eight games (with a lone loss to Texas) and scoring quite well along the way. Oklahoma State has 71 or more points in six of those eight outings. The last time these teams met up on New Year’s Eve, Kansas powered out a 69-67 comeback win at Allen Fieldhouse thanks to a 39-22 second half. The Jayhawks have a combined 166 points in their last two games, so this one could be a high-scoring affair as well. I like a competitive matchup here with Oklahoma State powering out the one-point cover (and maybe the win). Should be a fun one.
