The Jayhawks (21-7, 10-5) are tied with Baylor for third in the league and are just one game behind co-leaders Texas Tech and Kansas State. Tipoff is set for noon ET from Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys (10-18, 3-12) have lost 10 of 12, but would love to play the part of spoiler. The Jayhawks are favored by seven points in the latest Kansas vs. Oklahoma State odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 140.
