The 2021-22 college basketball season continues Saturday, February 26, with the marquee Big 12 Conference matchup at Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas, so we have prepared the best Kansas vs. Baylor betting pick and odds.



The Jayhawks meet the Bears for the second time this term. Back on February 5, Kansas trounced Baylor 83-59 as a 2.5-point home fave. This time around, the Bears are listed as 2.5-point home favorites, while the totals sit at 150.5 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.



<h2>Kansas smashed Kansas State for its fourth win in a row           </h2>



The Kansas Jayhawks (23-4; 13-14 ATS) improved to 12-2 in the conference play following a 102-83 thrashing of the Kansas State Wildcats this past Tuesday. It was their fourth straight victory and sixth in the last seven games, as the Jayhawks easily covered a 12-point spread on the home court.



Kansas tortured Kansas State all night, making 64.1% of its field goals and 62.5% of its 3-pointers. Senior guard Ochai Agbaji led the charge with 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, while junior guard Christian Brown added 20 points, seven boards, and five dimes.



Now, the Jayhawks are topping the Big 12 Conference, a game and a half ahead of Baylor and Texas Tech. Kansas is No. 5 in all the AP Top 25 Poll, NCAA NET Rankings, and KenPom rankings. The Jayhawks score 121.2 points per 100 possessions (4th in the nation) and surrender 95.0 in a return (31st).



<h2>Baylor aims for its second straight victory            </h2>



The Baylor Bears (23-5; 14-13-1 ATS) are coming off a narrow 66-64 overtime victory at the Oklahoma State Cowboys this past Monday. Playing as 5-point road favorites, the reigning NCAA champions recorded their second consecutive victory and fourth in the last five outings.



Baylor shot only 36.8% from the field against the Cowboys. Junior guard Adam Flagler went off for 29 points on 11-for-20 shooting from the field (7-for-13 from deep), while another junior G James Akinjo posted a line of six points, four assists, four steals, and a couple of rebounds. Akinjo made a game-winning shot in overtime.



The Bears improved to 11-4 in conference play. They are No. 10 in the AP Top 25 Poll, No. 6 in the NCAA NET Rankings, and No. 4 in the KenPom rankings. Baylor tallies 118.2 points per 100 possessions (9th in the country) and allows 91.6 to its opponents (15th).



Trends:



Kansas:



<ul><li>2-4 ATS in the last six games on the road</li></ul>



Baylor:



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-kansas-vs-baylor-pick">Kansas vs. Baylor Pick</h2>



The Bears must be fired up to get revenge for that heavy loss at the Jayhawks earlier in the season. I’m expecting a tight battle down the stretch, as Baylor certainly possesses enough defensive weapons to slow down the Jayhawks’ prolific offense.



I don’t feel comfortable with the side bet. It feels like a coin flip even though the Jayhawks have dominated the Bears as of late. Since 2019, Kansas has gone 5-2 SU and 5-1-1 ATS in seven encounters with Baylor. I am going with the Bears this time around. They are 7-3 SU in the last ten outings at home as favorites of 2.5 or fewer points.



Pick: Take Baylor -2.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



The under is 5-3 in Kansas’ last eight contests, and it is 4-2 in Baylor’s previous six. Their first encounter of the season has produced 142 points in total, so I’m backing the under. Four of the last five meetings between Kansas and Baylor have gone under the total. Also, the under is 14-4 in their previous 18 encounters.



The Bears have to slow down things and force the Jayhawks into half-court basketball. Baylor needs to bring its best defense in order to beat Kansas, so I would be surprised if we get a proper high-scoring affair.



Pick: Go under 150.5 points at -110&nbsp;

Kansas vs. Baylor Odds, Pick, Prediction 2/26/22

There has perhaps been no bigger surprise in this NCAA Tournament than the success of the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, who have advanced to the Sweet Sixteen as a 16-seed. And they haven't exactly gotten there the cheap way, with victories over Ohio State and Florida.

In the way of a return to the Elite Eight for ORU (we'll talk about that in a second) are the Arkansas Razorbacks, who got past a pretty tough obstacle in the last round of play, with their coach actually in the position of having to defend himself (we'll talk about that in a second as well).

Oral Roberts and Arkansas will clash at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis at 7:25 PM ET on TBS.

NCAA Tournament - Sweet Sixteen @ Indianapolis
ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES vs. ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS, 7:25 PM ET (TBS)

March Madness Betting Odds: Arkansas -11.5 / Total 158

Success in basketball isn't anything new to Oral Roberts. Back in 1974, they scored upset victories over Syracuse and Louisville to reach the Elite Eight before falling 93-90 to Kansas.

And so they arrive here again, coming off an 81-78 win over Florida in which they once again got huge numbers out of the dynamic duo of Max Abmas and Kevin Obanor.

Abmas had 26 points and seven assists, while Obanor had 28 points and eleven rebounds. Midway through the second half, the Golden Eagles were down by eleven points, so they had to face a little adversity. The two combined for 59 of the 75 points against Ohio State, while the rest of the team made just six of 25 from the field.

The "b" may be silent in Abmas' name, but Max certainly isn't. In fact, he led the nation in scoring this season (24.2 ppg). And despite the lack of balance on the scoresheet, there is a team effort going on here.

ORU takes care of the ball (15th best in Offensive Turnover Percentage), makes threes (38.4%) and makes a lot of its free throws - their accuracy rate of 82.4% at the charity stripe is best in the country.

All this is good, because they have to make some shots here.

Arkansas ground out a win over Texas Tech in the Round of 32, with 20 points from Justin Smith keying the 68-66 victory. They also got 15 points and six rebounds from fab frosh Moses Moody. But they made only four of 17 triples.

Well, that is better than what they did against ORU when these teams met back in December. Oral Roberts led by ten points at the half but the Hogs came on with a big effort the rest of the way in an 87-76 victory. Arkansas was just 4-of-24 from long-range, but they pulled down 24 offensive rebounds, many of which produced second chance points.

This has been a strange week for Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman, as a "pundit" out there who people listen to called the Texas Tech game a "coaching mismatch" in reference to Chris Beard.

Musselman has had 20 wins or more in all six of his seasons as a college head coach. And he went through a three-year period at Nevada where he won 86 games. So understandably he was a little pissed over the remarks.

If his team loses here, his team will not necessarily have underachieved. ORU is a dangerous foe, to say the least, and they can shoot more than well enough to make this one a scare, and one can imagine that at worst, the back door is wide open to them. Take the points.
