No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks at No. 8 Missouri Tigers
The battle in the Big 12 is shaping out to be a dandy of a race. The Oklahoma Sooners appeared to be the dominant team in the conference before losing their last two straight games probably caused by the loss of superstar Blake Griffin. The No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks now sit on top of the standings in the conference one game ahead of both Oklahoma and Missouri. The no. 8 Missouri Tigers have kind of quietly sneaked into the picture and are putting together a great season. Missouri has a tough back to back scenario as they host Kansas and then will take the road to play Oklahoma in two games that will determine how the Big 12 regular season title shapes out. The Tigers could get everyone back to two losses in the conference if they could come up with a big win at home against Kansas on Sunday.
Texas Tech at Kansas Pick and Preview
Texas Tech is off to their best start in more than 30 years but many people believe it is more due to their schedule than to their talent. The Red Raiders will get a chance to prove those people wrong, beginning on Saturday as they travel to face #19 Kansas. Texas Tech is ranked 8th in the country and after facing Kansas will play Texas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. That is a gauntlet no team would want to face.
Kansas at Oklahoma Pick and Preview
A matchup of Top 20 teams is on tap for Saturday as #4 Oklahoma hosts #16 Kansas.
